Hey, I'll talk about Leadbelly: he was a giant of 20th C music and his influence has been pervasive and global. Every syllable and every note of his recorded performances ring out with committment, his presence in his recordings is awesome, his voice jumps out at you from the speakers from 50-60-70 years ago and grabs you by the lapels and says "you WILL listen to this." One of the finest performers the world has heard, what a voice, what a guitar picker, what Soul that man had! When comes such another?
