Race In 60's Music

[SteveO]

Interesting take on the 60s..it's all there isn't it CH?...I'll just add that Jazz was changing drastically with the influence of avant garde artists or artists that changed over to free jazz...Coltrane and Miles Davis come to mind..and also the birth of jazz rock fusion ..Bitches Brew with Miles and others.

IMO the 1960s were the most innovative of all the decades of popular music..

this is the decade in which rock and roll became "rock", the blues became popular with UK artists and finally transcended into chart success, black artists became really accepted vai the Motown label,
psychadelia,heavy metal,protest songs, prog rock all had their origins in the latter half of the decade, so its not surprising that most people's favourite artists come from that era
