Leadbelly was a genius. A real trailblazer.
People quibble over dumb shit like who wrote what or how these were shared folk songs blah blah blah, but all of that is kind of bullshit complaining and dodging. If there was no Leadbelly then CCR, Clapton, Led Zeppelin, the Animals and every other plagiarist with a book of blotter acid and a deadline to meet wouldn't have recorded many of the songs that defined the 60s and formed the structural basis for the blues and ultimately for rock and roll.
House of the Rising Sun

It won't get the kind of lopsided monetary rewards that the industry relies on and nobody is going to be taking any chances on the next Kurt Cobain or Jim Morrison or Billy Corgan. That shit is just not going to happen.
