New Listening List - Crossover Arstists!

The theme this week is Crossover Artists, that is African American performers who tended to have their greatest success with mainstream (white) audiences instead of African American audiences.
Stylistically this is all over the place, but some great performances.
As always please let me know if any of the links are dead...
