Memphis singer-songwriter Brandon Lewis depicts the painful institutional mistreatment of Black men in his new single, titled “Black Man.”
It shouldn’t matter about the color skin that I’m in,
Though the single was written and recorded before the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Rayshard Brooks, Lewis and Made In Memphis Records released it last week given the tenor of times.
Lewis also released a video for the track, shot outside the historic Clayborn Temple in Downtown Memphis.
Lewis is the young protege of Made in Memphis Entertainment (MIME) CEO and former Stax Records songwriter David Porter (“Soul Man,” “Hold On I’m Coming”), whose works received worldwide accolades during the 1960s and 1970s.
Porter was impressed with Lewis work ethic and talent, and gave him a shot as an artist for MIME.
