Today, THE MIRACLES are considered LEGENDS . They have over 50 chart hits, numerous hit albums, 3 songs in ROLLING STONE'S list of the 500 GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME, have 4 songs in THE GRAMMY HALL OF FAME, and just got a star on the HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME. THE CAPTAIN and TENNILLE are essentially nothing more than a 70's cover band.

And yet despite all of these extremely negative actions, it doesn't seem to have stopped many people from attending these type of groupings (church...etc) it's not like this is the first or last time this behavior has been exhibited by a religious or government body either... ><. Makes you wonder what would history have turned out like if people would have just pulled their panties out of their ass. apologies to those who wear panties... figure of speech.

@56postoffice i'm 65 and i was there when rock and roll started. we had to fight to be able to listen to black music. it was vilified in the church, the press, the pulpit and by the government. elvis didn't invent rock and roll but he was the white man who made it ok to listen to this music. the leaders of this revolution were hounded everywhere they went. chuck berry did jail time. presley got put in the army. little richard went into the church because he was afraid.

@56postoffice LOL Try telling me some people i dont know. anyways i NEVER claimed Elvis invented rock lol. And I hope you were not expecting me to name every single artist in my head off the top on youtube in one little comments box . . But then it is what it is.Im sticking to guns on this , in regards to my original statement, In terms of The contributions Blacks made to American music and worldwide. . .Our guys n girls still dont get there fair due!

[56postoffice]

@americangangster86 beg to differ, the Rolling Stones always said that black music influenced them, everyone knows that Elvis NEVER invented rock and roll,it was already there when he came around, and the Beatles are important because they invented pop music. You also forgot to mention Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington,Ella Fitzgerald,Louie Armstrong, Eartha Kitt, Lena Horne,Nina Simone...need I go on? Educate thyself

@Lalabeachbetty When did i say MJ was the best one ever? I was talking about the music scene IN AMERICA In the last 60-70 Years. All the artists i named were artists who blew in America. Im not talking about overall history.

[Lalabeachbetty]

@americangangster86 Really? The only great white artists you can think of are Elvis, the Beatles, and Johnny Cash? Michalengelo, Da Vinci, Beethoven, Mozart, Raephael, and Gionni just disappear from history when you showed up and commented? I agree many great artists were black, but your comment only makes you look stupid. And Michael Jackson's not even a valid argument, since you're saying that black musicians are never recognized and he's the most famous pop artist ever.
