    I drive for Uber in the Detroit Metro area and I picked him and his niece up from Troy, MI tonight. We talked about his time on the road as a child performer, his later work, how he taught himself piano at such a young age, and his 6 siblings. Great guy

      sugar chile, albert, pete, pinetop (clarence smith i mean, as well as pinetop perkins), fats, nellie and joe are all rightfully adored, listened to regularly and collected by many over here in the UK, always have been. born into the 60s myself, I grew up with their records, their origins, in some ways, immaterial, i mean no disrespect. the records are pure genius, the world of music wouldn't have been the same without their incredible contribution to its development. but then, i've never understood anybody that has an issue with our differences, let alone with melanin production. vive la difference, the world is unimaginably better because of the huge variety of people in it, talent should always be acknowledged and credit given. thankfully, they did all get to enjoy their well deserved successes, even if it was only for a short time. i worry about all the artists i haven't heard yet, those lesser known ones who didn't make onto records (as far as i know) so, only if we are very lucky, there may only be film footage of them, like lynn albritton. all tips would be very gratefully received, i research anywhere and everywhere i can ;)

      @@octaviamay7601 Yeah sure. That was the 50's. Today it's different. When it comes to music and it sounds good, people want to hear it and don't care who's playing it. I've seen many black performers in concert because I like their music. Using racism that's such a crutch of an excuse for not succeeding in life. I would never hire anyone who talked like that.

      ​@mikehunt8997 it may not be the same as the 1950s but it's still exist. non black people who don't walk in the shoes of color don't see it cause it's not part of their lives. true many black people use it as an excuse to not even try and that's not an excuse. in fact I teach them that it's their obligation to do more then their grandparents did becasue they do have more avenues of freedom that their ancestors fought for. so it's a disservice to them to not use your talent or gifts today however, the road to success is still a rocky and hole filed one for black people. there are many glass doors that still are in place and many times you have to sell your soul to get them opened. this leads into the deteriorating culture that the media perpetuates. many talented black artists( Lauren Hill) leave the entertainment world when they see what goes on at the top. it's truly a different experience in the world when you are not white.
