though out my childhood and into my early teens, the music I heard at home was my father,s...god rest his soul...so called ' race music"....I thought he was a cool dude, a grown up white guy listening to Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley. Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Laverne Baker...……...so I came about my love for black music......so while teeny bopper friends were listening to the Beatles, I sought out Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and Etta James among dozens of others...……...thanks dad...rest in peace
