Miller invested his savings and sold his house and
car to pursue his dream of establishing a
publication specifically targeting the Black music
market. Launched in 1976, BRE became a

Black radio and promoting the cultural and
commercial impact of Black artists and Black music
in the contemporary music arena. |
