GUEST,Bluesman James Folklore: 60's African American Folk Singers (13) Folklore: 60's African American Folk Singers 19 Mar 09

It seems with all of the newly found interest in the 60's music scene, the contributions of African Americans have been totally ignored.
Does anyone remember:

Jackie Washington: (he first appeared with Joan Baez? I don't believe any of his recordings are available

Joe and Eddie: Incredible harmonies gutsy delivery Joe died tragically in an auto accident Their material is still in print and on I-Tunes

Len Chandler. If you go on youtube you will find duets of him and Pete Seeger as well as his own solo work. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=len+chandler&aq=3&oq=Len+C

Casey Anderson: Great soulful singer totally disappeared and forgotten

Brother John Sellers: MC at Folk City died in 1999 in NYC.

Julius Lester: WBAI host recorded some great recordings. He was one of the first contemporary singers to use a bottle neck. He converted to Judaism and is on the faculty at Amherst. His recordings are available on I-Tunes.

All forgotten so sad
