    btw hip hop music started over 30 years ago.
    It would have been funny if it wasn't sad. Little Richard's Long Tall Sally versus Pat Boone's ........

    LOL . Pat Boone made a smoothie out of tutti frutti.
    I guess on the +ve side the less heard music of the day got exposure & those curious enough looked to see who wrote the songs.
    I'd never heard of Freddie King till I heard Clapton play Hideaway... & then I took the red pill.

    While his recording career didn't start until the end, Hound Dog Taylor was rocking!

    The video isn't great especially at the beginning but you'll get the idea!
