Yeah, many people don't consider the contribution he (and other black artists) made to rock and roll. Two that come to my mind immediately are Aaron Neville (almost country) and Lenny Cravitz (sp). Not to mention the whole Motown scene of the sixties and early seventies. Those of us that are older than 40 can remember so many songs that were on the radio that we would sing to and probably don't even know how many were by black artists.
