K-Pop and Pop Were inspired by this Black Girl Group from the 70s #1stgenkpop #mariahcarey #popmusic

Before K-pop had a name… Black girls set the rhythm.
In 1977, “Best of My Love” by the Emotions gave us joy that moved the world with harmonies, groove, feeling.

In 1992, “Emotions” by Mariah Carey stretched that feeling higher with her Gospel influences bringing runs, power, soul on full display.

And in 2002, S.E.S Gave us “Just a Feeling” and it carries the energetic created by Maurice White (of Earth, Wind, &Fire) across oceans. pop spirit, reimagined in K-pop form.

We’re not saying it’s plagiarism. We’re saying it’s inspiration. K-pop music is inspired by black American music. Pop is inspired by Black American music. Black people are an integral part of music history and we will always remember that here at CCTVPOPS
