I'm not saying that the negro spiritual wasn't influenced by Scottish music, I'm saying the part of it which went on to define rock music was African. It is typical of African traditional music, it is typical of the calypso, ska, reggae as well as the Black American music like gospel and New Orleans Jazz.

Take a look at the headbangers at a rock concert, were they influenced by African ritual dancers or a Presbyterian congregation?
