I remember the first time I saw the Jackson 5 on Andy Williams, I couldn't enjoy it because it was these five guys dancing, and two of them were kids, and it just blew a fuse in my head. Next, I saw a picture of Isaac Hayes, and I thought, thats not right. He's bald, and he's wearing sunglasses. Then I saw Sly at Woodstock, and I thought, these guys are about ten years ahead of anybody else in this show.
I finally came to the conclision that black musicians lead the way, as far as popular music is concerned, They always have and they probably alwways will.
BTW, Jimi was my bridge into black music, Thank God.
