Might it not be fair to add a comment that in the UK a lot of this was averted until more recently... as we Brits were exposed to a much wider range of music through the BBC? Especially Radio 1, TOTP and Old Grey Whistle Test?

A lot of black American acts had to come over here to get a mainstream following - then went BACK to the States...

Would it be wrong to take all the examples that are the sole inhabitants of a category and move them to other?

Dodge Spirit, Plymouth Acclaim and Chrysler Le Baron, for obvious reasons?

The reasons are not at all obvious to me, and actually it's a pretty baffling reference. Anyone more clueful care to update?
