part of this is because zero latinx people know who that is, and latinxes are 20% of the population. but latinxes love elvis, so, he's doing okay in cultural memory terms. but ray charles? sam cooke? jackie wilson? otis redding? bb king? nope. pre-rap black music is slipping down a cultural memory-hole.

it's also interesting how jimi hendrix has become by far the least-remembered or nostalgized of the really huge 60's/early-70's rock acts.

The Doors were really big when they made that movie but you don't hear much about them now either.

I remember him because he was on Sesame Street. He may have been the first blind person I ever saw or was aware of.

there was a big effort to get him canonized as a country music legend in the 00's/early-10's because of the country album he did. that album is fine, but it's also kind of boring, and the effort never took off among actual country listeners.
