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.

^ A true classic. It stands the test of time as it is still as entertaining now as it was back in the day.

I have heard of her, but I didn't know much about her. She was very talented.
