Which segments of the population accepted Blues music?

Are you using Yahoo Answer to try to write an essay? I wouldn't if I were you. 75% of the people on the internet are idiots. And 24% are liars. Good luck...

It was the white people only

While black America readily accepted blues music as their own, the English bands of the early sixties were perhaps most influenced by it - John Mayall, Jeff Beck, Clapton, Beatles, Stones, later on Led Zeppelin, etc. and brought it back to America is what is referred to as the British Invasion. That's when middle American white kids started to love the music even though they didn't know the roots of it. Paul Butterfield, Elvin Bishop, and the like then were able to build a following.
