I want to take this opportunity to thank Jayto, and Janie, and Acorn4 and Will Fly for posting on this thread.

I hope other people understand the reason why I started this thread was not to segregate Black singers from non-Black singers as an end goal. Instead, I started this thread as one Mudcat resource for examples of songs from Black singers so that other Mudcat favorite songs threads hopefully would be more integrated in the future.

Of course, people posting to this thread have their own reasons for adding names and/or video links to songs here. It may be just that they like a particular song and want to share it with others. And that's okay with me-there doesn't have to any other motive but that.

I intend to add other songs to this thread and I hope that other people will continue to add songs to this thread.

And if some people don't understand why I started this thread, then so be it.
