Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to

For those who may not know Ravi Shankar, I strongly recommend you watch his performance on the 1968 Monterey pop festival DVD and you will never forget it. 

I could be mistaken, but I'd guess that Norah Jones is so popular that many, if not most of her fans, don't know or care who her father was and many likely have never heard of him. 

@larsman  The question isn't in my mind if her fans know who her father was but rather, would they know of Norah if he wasn't her father?

Silly two complete different genre’s and she never rode his coat tails. Nora has more musical ability also. Multi instrumentalist.

Both are talented for sure. 

Larsmans comment would be more relevant if we were speaking of Taylor Swift. More sophisticated audience for Nora.  

@erik_squires - again, I can't know for sure, but my guess would be that yes, of those many millions of Norah Jones fans, a large number, if not most, would be fans without having any idea of Ravi. They don't like Norah because of her ragas, after all, and I'd also guess that most of them do not have records by Ravi or other classical Indian music at their homes, though many probably do have Diana Krall records. 

@larsman

I think the point I was trying to make was she would not have gotten the press attention if not for her dad, therefore many fewer would know of her.  You dont' have to know who her father was to be influenced by the press which did.
