Before (c)rap and hip hop filth ruined it all.
Nat King Cole
‘I Love You For Sentimental Reasons’ (1946)

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Miles took some crap from blacks because he dared have a white man, Bill Evans, play on this album.
I just can’t get mad about this. I have a long drive to work and I could listen to some of Stevie Wonder’s deeper groves every day.

He’s white like his shirt!
Nah, I’m just being an ass :D
Just cannot do it. Every time I hear anything rap I feel the IQ dropping faster than the thumpa thumpa tempo.
How we went from the uplifting Motown sound to today’s hate-filled, cop-killer rap-crap or “lowtown” sound is beyond me. Does nothing to elevate anyone and drags people of all races into an all-time cultural low. Nonetheless, this is what we’ll probably see celebrated.
More of a very light beige.....not quite white....
Love my president & support him 110%, but I truly wish he & others would lay off this hyphenated American bs. Everybody nowadays is a ____-American, except whites.
It only shows that you put your loyalty of your country of ancestry above your loyalty to America. If you were actually born in Africa, China, Japan, Armenia, Columbia, etc. & are an American citizen, you are an American of African, Chinese, Japanese, Armenian, Columbian, etc. ancestry.
You are either an American, or you are not. Period.
I refuse to address anyone by these hyphenations.
Ella Fitzgerald with Louis Armstrong
at the Newport Jazz Festival (1957)
‘I Can’t Give You Anything But Love’

If we eliminate (c)rap and its associated sewage, there is quite a legacy of superb music there. Gospel music, Joplin, jazz, Motown. Great stuff!
blues
There is LOTS of great music out there! Cab Calloway, Count Basie, The Coasters, Nat King Cole,
Fats Waller!
Lots of great 1950s music, Dinah Washington is still my favorite!
Ray Charles ‘Georgia On My Mind’ (1960)

Reference my post #49 in re: music and what the libs can’t seem to grasp (their continual cultural appropriation and lack of appreciation of the greatness of this Republic-how our music has bridged huge gaps. They won’t allow any part of it to stop their agenda of division). The history has been quite well known, and purposely ignored in Academia for just that reason- it doesn’t fit their need to re-write and erase the basis of our Founding.
Appreciate all y’all’s comments- gotta go to work.
For chris37, if that is a young Johnny or Edgar Winter (from Beaumont, TX)- both albino- they both instilled the Blues into absolute killer real rocknroll, from when we were kids, friend Rick Derringer (a converted Christian btw)- RocknRoll Hoochie Koo:

And for Chauncey G, an astounding track, enjoy the bass sax and guitar work, astounding vocals and writing, from 80 plus year old MoTown writer, William Bell (produced by Rosanne Cash’s beau John Leventhal) on the revived Stax Label: “Poison in the Well”

There are some great black singers, but I doubt many of them want to be identified as black instead of just great entertainers.
Of course, I don’t put any RAP into the great singer category.
RAP: Retarded African Poetry.
Part of the sneaky strategy of the white nationalist movement. /s
Can’t wait to see how the convoluted, pretzel logic of the left will interpret this as a form of oppression.
