We're talking about a song (or songs) very early in their career when they were a long way from seeing a "profit" from their music. I would like to think they loved and "promoted" black music rather than simply took advantage for profit. The songwriters that they were, they certainly didn't record the songs they did out of neediness. Like Elvis, they broadened the music base through their love of the genre.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-1133880228151438642005-12-06T08:43:00.000-06:002005-12-06T08:43:00.000-06:00My list pales in comparison.
