Question

Are there any white recording artist that influenced african american culture?

Answer 1

Eminem

Answer 2

Justin Timberlake? IDK!?

Answer 3

the  Tom Tom club and Teena Marie

Answer 4

Those who answered this question previously have got to be out of their minds.  Eminem hasn't had any influence on African American culture.  Now that is not to say there hasn't been a white artist to have influence for an African American artist.  Lil Jon talked about listening to heavy metal music growing up.  Pharrel Williams talked about listening to Steely Dan and Fleetwood Mac.  I would definitely not go as far as saying that a white artist has influenced African American culture because it hasn't happened.  African American culture has influenced all music from Elvis to Eminem.

Answer 9

Frank Sinatra.



He hated racial discrimination and because of his popularity, he was able to force night clubs and concert halls to let non-white artists to perform there. He also chose mixed-race bands to back him up in his shows, and hired black musicians for their talent. He toured the notoriously prejudiced South with black musicians, and they hired him anyway. He made Las Vegas hotels and hotels across the country let black performers stay in the same hotel as he did; before Sinatra did this, there were all-white hotels and all-black hotels, even in Las Vegas.
