White Guys Playing Black Music (Part 3 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 third is the all white band with the black back-up singers and maybe a black percussionist. The Rolling Stones, Elvis's Vegas band, and countless others fit here.
