Audiofeil,(or should I say Audiofool because that what you talk like)what you know about this subject you could put in a thimble, much less what you could remember or forget. Everytime you open your mouth you show just how much you know.
Your smug elitist and I'm smarter than everybody else attitude continues to reinforce all the things I've said.
My point about this subject is simply this(and I'll make it simple for you Kurt tank so you can understand)
If it hadn't been for folks like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Sam Cooke, James Brown creating and shaping this genre, groups like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elvis(I know he's not a group) and others you didn't name such as Eric clapton, Edgar and Johnny Wynter, Led Zepplin...
None of them would have been able to make the millions that they made and soar to the heights of fame that they did if the artform had not been created by those I just mentioned.
I'm not about to sit by and let anyone diminish, discount and trivialize the great contributions and accomplishments these artist made to the music history of this country and were not able to benefit from it themselves.
Millions of people fans and musicians alike benefitted immensely from the contributions of Chuck Berry, Little Richard and others. The precious Beatles (and they are great) would not even have had the opportunity to as has been been loosely stated, take it to a level bigger and better but I guess that's why they pay such homage to these rock & roll icons, because they have sense enough to know what they did for their careers!!(unlike some folks on this forum; Kurt tank is that you)
Finally, as I have given this much thought,(unlike most folks here) I had to ask myself the question: Is this really about who invented rock & roll or the heritage of who invented it?
Could it be the fact that because Chuck Berry, Little Richard and others are Black(African American) not much credit is given them as has been the history of this country when comes to the accomplishments of African Americans? or is it because white people do it so much bigger and better? mmh
Ah, but what am I talking about, racism doesn't exist in this country let alone here on the Gon.
Kurt tank did I spell everything right?
