12816571, Because these artists came waaaay before the Internet, and if you
Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Thu May-28-15 11:12 AM
don't see them perform or whatever, you just might never know!
If you only know the song from hearing it on radio, you may not have even known back in the day. Remember how they marketed certain groups to where even the album covers didn't show the group members?
It ain't like someone saying "Oh shit, Sammy Davis Jr was Black????" Toto has somewhat of a cult fan following, but nothing major to where everyone knows what they look like.
