Barack Obama finished, in many ways, what Martin Luther King, Jr. and others started. You disrespect both-their individual legacies and what it means for their times and circumstances-if you suggest one is greater than the other.It’s a relay race. They’re not in competition against one another. Would there ever have been Obama without King? Would King’s dreams have ever materialized without the likes of Obama. I reported music for almost two decades. Fela is incomparable. Way ahead of his time, Fela was a genius, a god. But for obvious reasons, his global image and reputation were more for his message and politics than for traditional music accomplishment. Fela became great in spite of his many rebellious decisions. Turned down deals many would kill for. Refused to change his style [and had several jail stints for his stubbornness]. He could have made far more money and friends and sold many more records had he confirmed. But he had a mission, and he fought well. Plenty great musicians in his era, but none came close. And largely because of his message, his arrangement, the band, his image and his PR. KSA, Obey, Segun Adewale, Majek Fashek, all had good opportunities to go global, even signing major deals with Virgin, Island and the likes.
