As far as forgotten, don't lose sight of the reality that many young adults came up in places where there was no visible Black culture, so it took awhile for some of us to widen our view, open our ears, and cultivate our minds. To "forget," first you have to "know." :~)

Sugar Blue, Harmonica genius

Taj Mahal-- Actor (SOUNDER)

I'd have to count a bunch of AA opera singers too, for the way they brought spirituals into current culture-- that was folk music TOO. List too numerous to compile-- compiled elsewhere here. :~)

Bluesman, I think you must be new in these parts. Welcome!
