Availability of music to the public is driven by the recording industry and the media - if we had equal access to all artists there would be much more crossover and thus greater appreciation. Figures like Ray Charles and Sammy Davis Jr, Nat King Cole, etc were "allowed" to cross over. If the media didn't make money off them, they'd be forgotten like Elvin.
