4 comments so far (post your own)George W. Johnson is not household name but his importance to music history is undeniable, in the 1890s when segregation was how society worked, he became the most successful black man in the US and was the first black artiest to be marketed as himself and not under a pseudonym or a fake image.

By that logic, the U.S. Marine Band should be inducted, Timothy. Being important to the music industry is not entirely the same as being important to rock and roll's evolution. Posted by Philip on Friday, 05/19/2017 @ 21:42pm |
the legends of Vaudeville music need to be in the hall, what started as just another genre of theater became the seed of modern day entertainment, racial tension was cut when Sissieretta Jones and George W. Johnson came and influenced the next generation of musicians, Posted by Timothy on Sunday, 07/16/2017 @ 22:48pm |
Gonna have to disagree with you on that again, Timothy. You can say the same thing about movies and television with Vaudeville. Posted by Philip on Monday, 07/17/2017 @ 00:39am |
