Agreed, etc...
"Because if the blak artists dont do it the white ones will do it for them, 
and already the rip-off is under way: Joe Cocker, that whole Leon Thomas 
phoneshow, The Stones. The Stones "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" is the full 
derive from Santana. But then Santana's guitar solo on Black Magic Woman is 
BB King, note for note, with a soupspoon of Latin Gumbo thrown in. I mean 
cross fertilisation is the nme of the game, and we ought to be pleased about 
it. s long as it's not all one way. And this time it would be good if black 
Aamerican music, which is where it all began, got there, made by itself, you 
know, like the people are going to eventually, and yet remained like the 
people, black"
-UP Against The Wall, America" - Craig MacGregor/1973
