BMA-14 Cash Box/June 28. 1980 “BMI struck the mother lode when it brought black music, one ofthe true idioms ofAmerican root culture, into the mainstream of popular appreciation”..

Paul Ackerman, the late and esteemed observer of the music scene, said in 1973 in assessing the role BMI has played in the development of American popular music. From the start in 1940, BMI opened its doors to

new writers, those yet unheard, and through it has come a continuing stream of extraordinary people, many of them black. The first hit songs we licensed in 1940 included many written by black songwriters who had taken advantage of their first opportunity to share in the rewards of musical creativity. Through the years, as BMI has gradually become the dominant force in music licensing around the world, many black writers and publishers have made this success possible. Wfe and America are in their eternal debt.
