Imagine a musician forcing one of the world’s biggest record labels to rethink how it presented Black beauty.

Miles Davis did exactly that.

By the early 1960s, Columbia Records often used white models on jazz covers — even when the music was made by Black artists. Miles resented it. He later wrote that it felt like erasure: his culture, his music… but not his image.

So he pushed back.

In his autobiography, Miles explained that Someday My Prince Will Come was the moment he told Columbia he wanted Black women on his covers. The label agreed — and the album featured his wife Frances Taylor, pictured here.

It was a turning point.

From that point on, Miles used his influence to put Black women at the centre of modern culture — on record sleeves seen around the world.

In the comments, you’ll find a link to some of his greatest albums... complete with the shift in artwork they represent.
