White Guys Playing Black Music (Part 2 of 5)

The following is an excerpt of a 20 January 2015 email from Will to Art.

...I've been thinking about the reverse Heart of Darkness concept and the issue of white guys playing black music.  It seems like four tropes dominate the field...

The second type is the integrated band. Sly and the Family Stone is the archetype here. Love and Prince and the Revolution also come to mind.
