"Butterfield was a cultural pioneer, an racial crossover astronaut. He
made
the blues accessible to a generation of whites who weren't ready to
listen to
roots blues sounds, black folks music."
I would limit that to the United States though - the white Europeans
were quite receptive to the Walters, Sonnys, and black roots blues
musicians et al...
