A Teacher By Trade, Dr Mary Sullivan Bain Recorded Her Musical Works To Be Used As An Educational And Motivational Tool In The Miami-dade Public School System She Taught In. The Single Was Recorded At Miami Sound Recordings, South Florida And Released In Small Numbers As A Self-published 12 Pressing For Educational Purposes. Copies Of ‘do You Know Black History Did Not Circulate Much Further Than Floridas Public School Libraries And The Vaults Of Some Local Radio Stations When It Was Released In 1985. Produced With No Label Constraints, Mary Worked Alongside Her Friend And Vocalist Herman Attaway. She Would Give Him The Words And The Melody And Together They Translated Her Ideas Into Song. If One Wanted To Categorise It Theyd Have To Put A Copy In A Few Different Boxes … 808s, Bass Synths, Deep Chords, Live Percussion And Effects Dubbed Into The Mix. The Production Leans Towards The Electronic Diy Framework That Informed The Local Sound On The South Side. Whilst The Categories Are Blurred Whats Clear Is That The Musicians Who Made This Thought Outside Of The Box.
