Musical genius? Bela Fleck,that's about it,but there are probably some that I haven't heard.

To me,a musical genius and great songwriter/artist are different things.

Most popular artists are actually pretty lame,from the standpoint of actual musical innovation.

3 pages in and not 1 mention of James Brown.

Nobody had as much influence 50 years ago while simultaneously having as much influence over modern music.
