Darius Rucker
After Hootie and the Blowfish, lead singer and guitarist Darius Rucker went another route: country. In doing so, he made milestones. He became the first black artist to win the CMA’s New Artist Award, and is one of only three black performers inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. Rucker’s No. 1 singles include “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It” and “This.”
