Mark the Spot , E3: Music

Rolling Stone · 2 hours ago

Rolling Stone's third and final episode of its "Mark the Spot" series follows Dallas-based artist Temi Coker as he arranges a surprise musical tribute for his wife and creative partner, Afritina Coker. Filmed at the Dallas venue Revelers Hall, the branded content piece centres on Temi secretly rehearsing to join local jazz group Bishop Avenue Hot Six on piano, performing Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" for his wife, while weaving in promotion for the Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid's Revel Ultima 3D sound system.

The episode highlights how music marks personal memories, with Temi crediting the car's audio system—which offers Traditional Stereo, Audience and On-Stage listening modes—for enhancing shared moments with Afritina. As a photographer and set designer raising two young children, Afritina has had little time for herself, and Temi says he wanted to celebrate her identity beyond motherhood. Band leader Joseph Reyes and venue co-owner Amy Wallace Cowan both praised the intimacy of the performance, and Afritina was moved to tears, saying she "can't believe he pulled that off." The couple, who bonded over photography since 2015, describe their shared motto as "'Till Death Do Us Art."
