As an aside I had forgotten until a recent countryfile (yes I know that a random link but welcome to my world) one of the origins of soul/gosoel/blues etc can ne found in the ancient art of Gaelic Pslam singing as practiced in the Highlands and Islands and taken to the States in the 1700/1800's by people from there fleeing the clearances
There was a programme on Gospel music several years ago which tried to link Gospels “call and response” style to Gaelic singing, and as one black musician said “they’re even trying to take away our music” I think that’s about right, and for further evidence, watch Aretha Franklin’s Amazing Grace film, also on IPlayer and tell me she and the other participants have anything in common with Gaelic singers beyond the fact their both using their voices

I know its one of those 'areas of contention' in music
A few years ago I Billy Connolly did a things travelling across the southern states. He was talking to some black musicians and while mucking about with a mandolin took an Irish folk song form the original to a well know negro spiritual.
I think there was call and response within African music but its also quite possible that the music of the the poor immigrants also influenced the music of their poorer neighbours.

Its harder to accept that didn't happen
If anyone really wanted to find a link it’s likely in the religious element, slave owners forcing their slaves to follow Christianity and sing hymns etc. I guess there’s common threads in music right across the globe, but I do get the anger from black musicians when it’s implied their music is white in origin.

Indeed. Irish, Scotch, Mexican and German music permeates the music of the southern states.
I think both RIch Hall and Reginald D Hunter have also fronted documentaries about the various forms of music from that part of the world

i also think cajun music from the south of the u.s.a. has all the elements of irish and scottish folks well as its main french back ground. e.g. the fiddle and squeeze box
forensic experts say footers and spruces fingerprints were not found at the scene after the weekends rows
