February is approaching, and that means it's time to honor Black History Month. As in previous years, The Current is celebrating by spotlighting African-American musical icons from throughout history and across genres.

We've narrowed our list, but we need your help to pick the final four artists. Each one will be featured on-air and online for one week as we move through the month. Check out our poll — the options span decades and genres, with legends of jazz, blues, rock, R&B, soul, funk, spoken word and hip-hop in the mix.

Let us know what you'd like to hear even more of, and we'll find the best deep cuts that will keep you moving next month.

Just as a reminder, here's who we featured last year: Al Green, Nina Simone, Tina Turner and John Coltrane.
