    African-american entertainers have been prominent and influential going all the way back to the days of minstrel shows and speakeasys, whether you know it or like it or not. They created the blues and were early pioneers in rock and roll. You wouldn't have Led Zeppelin or Lynyrd Skynard without them. If you can't tolerate that don't listen to them anymore. And don't use phrases like "what's up" or give people a high five.

    I think the title for this should be Top Selling Black Artists in Every Decade. My definition of musician is someone who can create, write, and play music. As great as Michael Jackson was, and he was great. Legendary as a matter of fact, but he needed people to play and create the majority of the music he did. When you say musician, I think Prince, who wrote, created, produced and played his music. To me that's a musician IMHO.

      Usually i'm against race being involved in every aspect, like affirmative action, education, hiring quotas ..etc. . but I think race actually plays a significant role in music. When a race is culturally centered with itself , it tends to create an environment that allows for very unique and quality styles of music to flourish. Being that there are many races and cultures worldwide, we have a large variety of styles that have been created by many different races. From European Classical, European folk Celtic, to African Traditional styles, African American Jazz, traditional Hispanic music (I know Hispanic isn't a race, but it's a centered and well identified culture) .. each giving us unique sounds we can all appreciate.
