Great Music Back Then. Back then Black Singers and their groups had so much talent, voice and soul. Today Black so called singers, talk Rap Music. I can't stand this type of Rap Music. Back then their music brought us together, Whites and Blacks. I grew up watching American Band Stand and continued to watch as Soul Train followed on Saturdays. Loved all types of music back then. Our Government just wants to Divide Us Now. Love your brothers and may Peace be between each other. Sincerely, Mr T.
