Bessie Smith isn't fading away.
Bonnie Raitt has kept her name alive, as have other famous musicians throughout the years.
Queen Latifah and Mo'Nique made a movie about her.
This thread is talking about 2 different groups: people who love music vs people who just listen to the current hits. Every generation -x, y, millenial, boomers- contains both.
Speaking of fading away, there's another creative force whose music, whether a new generation recognizes they're listening to it or not, won't fade away. Some call it the Bo Diddley beat, Hey Bo Diddley... 'Not Fade Away' was upcycled by Charles Hardin in Lubbock Tx, and numerous others ever since. That creative force; the African clave... that infectious ham bone rhythm!
