Nashville's R&B Roots?

[drock]

Hey, I heard that Nashville actually has a history of R&B talent that started at WLAC, Nashville's 50,000 watt radio station. Amongst the talent that arised from Nashville included Billy Cox, Jimi Hendrix's bass player. I would love to learn more about this since I thought Nashville just was known for country music.
