I have a pretty extensive record collection including my Mom's 78 records featuring some fabulous black artists from back in the day. Sadly, many of these wonderful entertainers didn't get the respect they deserved and were made to enter the venues they were appearing at through the service entrance, particularly in the deep south. One Las Vegas hotel actually drained and disinfected their swimming pool because guests complained after seeing Sammy Davis Jr. use it.
I would like to pay tribute to some of these amazing people who contributed to the soundtrack of so many people's lives and whose work stands the test of time. Feel free to contribute to this thread.

Johnny Mathis had a smooth Nat King Cole quality to his voice and a string of hits. Here are two of his signature songs...

Leslie Uggams had a fabulous voice, I agree, Foxy, I don't hear her name mentioned as often as some of the others.
