Jean Beauvoir is a Haitian-American singer, bassist, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, and entertainment executive. He came to prominence in the early 1980s with the punk group the Plasmatics and went on to work with Little Steven, Kiss, the Ramones, and as a solo artist. On this debut episode we will be discussing his 2022 book “Bet My Soul on Rock ‘n’ Roll: Diary of a Black Punk Icon” along with his recording of “Who Want’s To Be Lonely” for the Maria Love Convalescent Fund, and some of the music he wrote and/or produced for other artists.
