  There was Black music.

    My favorite band of all time is Led Zeppelin. A large number of their songs especially in the early albums were heavily influence by black blues artists or so close that they later had to give songwriting credits to the original black artist. Elvis also sang lots of blues songs originally created by black Americans. https://msbluestrail.org/blues-trail-markers/elvis-presley https://msbluestrail.org/blues-trail-markers/elvis-presley

      Not just influenced, Led Zeppelin stole tracks from black musicians. Even worse (in my opinion), is Eric Clapton, who stole so much music from black musicians, and then went on to disparage them and go on racist rants about who he wants in his country. Even worse when you see how he gave and received praise from artists like Jimi Hendrix.
