Stoney Edwards was one of the first black singers to have a significant presence in country music. Shortly after recovering from a major accident he was spotted by a local attorney who knew that most labels were looking for a black country singer. 

Here is his rendition of Leonard Cohen's classic "Bird on a Wire" from the album "Blackbird"
