“The great rock and roll of the 1950s and early 1960s had many great black singers and singing groups.
Radio did not show the color of skin and we loved that music.
But then, they were real singers. Not rap crap.”

Absolutely! Exhibit A: Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
“Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” is a fantastic, moving song.
She died far too young.
Is there a more recognizable, unique voice than the late Levi Stubbs from the Four Tops? Even today, just a few words sung and you know that voice.
I don’t recall anyone caring abut his skin color.
