Forty years ago this week, the album "Sun City" was released by a talented and diverse array of artists from the world of rock, hip-hop, soul, latin, funk, jazz, plus international artists from South African reggae. The mission of Artists United Against Apartheid was bringing attention to the plight of Black South Africans living under white minority rule and the apartheid system, focusing on the exclusive white segregated resort of Sun City, and shaming the long list of artists who played there. The World's Host Marco Werman revisits the "Sun City" album, the resort itself and the artists who loudly sang out that they "ain't gonna play Sun City."
