I like classical music, but imagine if somehow that art caught on with Black folks. Imagine what we'd do with it.
WRONG!
Unless you have been living under a rock, White people also claim that they invented Rock and Roll. It is really sad when people like you don't know history or music.
You should probably first understand that there are two types of Blues that are played in the USA, namely Delta Blues and Piedmont Blues.
Rock and Roll is from the Delta Blues that is played in Mississippi and West Tennessee. Delta Blues also gave rise to Soul, R&B and Disco.
Piedmont Blues is from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, East Tennessee and Georgia. Piedmonte Blues gave rise to Country Music, Blue Grass Music, Western Music and Folk Music.
Here are some Piedmonte Blues artist:
Hoodoo Child
The Urban Legend
We had a small, but significant hand in that genre too. I think I posted some links in The Root a few months back
It did catch on, but not in mainstream masse. Many Jazz artists from the 20s/40s were classically trained, and looked up to many Classical composers.I like classical music, but imagine if somehow that art caught on with Black folks. Imagine what we'd do with it.

These dudes don't know anything, except what White people tell them. Even the earliest Country songs by White artist were the Blues:

Country music takes influences from Blues and Appalachian folk music.
Appalachian folk music is essentially Scott
