Thomas,

  I thought it was the other way around. The way I heard it the record companies kept signing dozens of black artists but led the public to believe they were white.
  
  Chuck was one of the first and  greatest rockers of all times. Funny how the best things are best early then get less good over time.

  Very sad that rock 'n roll seems to be endangered. I don't what I'd miss more, the planet or rock 'n roll.
