The SHAME about performers like him, was that managers and record companies arranged housing and travel, but would Steal the creative Rights to what the performers made. Essentially, they ended up living in houses and driving cars they Never Owned; then when the style of music Changed in the late Fifties, he was kicked to the Gutter.
Unfortunately, he was one of the Victims of the Entertainment Drug Culture, and of Corporate GREED.
The very FIRST thing Black performers needed, was a Good Lawyer to Protect their interests; even Elvis was duped by His manager, "the Colonel".
I honestly don't understand how a human being can listen to such a beautiful singer and show dislike towards him due to the color of his skin, I'm so very fascinated by humans, we have made countless marvelous wonders, we've come a very long way from where we originated
