In 1988, the world was introduced to the groundbreaking Black rock band, Living Colour, with their debut record, "Vivid," which dominated the charts and was a commercial hit.


Made up of lead vocalist Corey Glover, guitarist Vernon Reid, drummer William Calhoun, and bassist Muzz Skillings, the group then released their sophomoric album, "Time's Up," a more sophisticated venture that blurred the lines between genres while establishing the group's musical prowess. Dr. Kimberly R. Mack, Associate Professor at the University of Toledo specializing in African American literature and culture, joins host Prof. Mark Anthony Neal to discuss her latest publication, Living Colour’s Time’s Up, part of the prestigious 33 1/3 book series from Bloomsbury for Spring 2023.
