## Caption

10x GRAMMY producer Brian-Michael Cox and A&R/creator Keith Thomas (Ladies Love R&B) pull up to talk breaking R&B records with Usher & Chris Brown, inventing Atlanta’s most famous R&B Wednesday, surviving club moves, and the legendary night Red Martini got shut down—then selling out a new venue in four hours.
