  I remember reading in a book about Rock and Roll history that the area in front of Chess Records was a bus stop and that Chess had a speaker outside the front of their building.  Whenever they had a new record coming out , they'd play over the speaker and if the black folks were dancing to it, they knew they had a hit.

  I bought a lot of records from Chess Record Company in Chicago Illinois. Nothing like good old Rock N Roll And The Blues. Kick up the music and play it loud to me.

  What stands out to me from this video how most the world, especially the US treated the black has sub human, when clearly the blacks were and some of greatest singers in the world, just listen, such beautiful harmonie and colour in everything they do. I am a white soul and R and B fan. I would be interested to hear anyone else&apos;s comments.

  It’s amazing to me that all these great artists reached godlike status in the United Kingdom, among young, hip, white kids. They’ve been the soundtrack to my life from 10 years old, in a small mining town in northern England. I’ve a lot of love for blues and soul artists from back then.
