Here’s a rare moment captured at KCRW 89.9 FM studios in Santa Monica, CA.
From left to right: Roger Steffens, Nina Simone, and Tom Schnabel, during the taping of an interview with the legendary singer.

I won’t reveal the title here.
But you will be able to hear it in the coming months on KCRW Vintage 24, as KCRW reissues its historic reggae archives, including over 350 hours of Roger’s LA BEAT radio show.

History, rediscovered — and still speaking
