About this playlist
Talking Heads' fondness for soul and R&B set them apart from other New York rockers in the '70s and '80s. Adding to the funk-punk mix, they would go on to absorb rhythmic influences from Africa and Brazil. From Suzi Quatro to Fela Kuti, this star-studded playlist reveals how the band brilliantly assimilated a world of inspirations.
