Ben Harper Contributes Black-Is-Beautiful Theme Song to Peacock Doc ‘Black Boys’ (Watch) (EXCLUSIVE)
Chris Willman Music WriterSinger-songwriter Ben Harper has contributed a theme song, “Black Beauty,” for the timely new Peacock documentary “Black Boys,” which premieres on the new streaming service tonight. Watch and listen to his music video for his new composition below.“Black Boys” is a film that narrows in not just along racial but along gender lines — a description of the doc places it “at the intersection of education, criminal justice and sports” — and director Sonia Lowman looked to the three-time Grammy winner for a song that could reflect the pride of Black men and boys specifically.“It was an honor to have been asked to write a song for this culturally vital documentary,” Harper tells Variety.
