    African American ax-men never really used slide guitar much for their rock, funk, dance/club tunes, but Dionne's session guys sure knew how to leverage that kind of guitar. It was twangy, angry, distorted/overdriven treble, and mellow at the same time. Kudos.... to those dudes.

    Where have all the great black pop artists gone today? There were so many incredibly talented black artists that contributed to pop music culture in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Pop music is dominated today by hip hop and a few pop artists. I feel strongly that pop music from the 60's through the 90's brought us together of all ages and races and created a common connection. I see this video and think, is the lack of pop music part of the reason we are so divided today?
