 You may know Darius Rucker as the lead singer of the best-selling 90s band Hootie and the Blowfish. Then seemingly out of nowhere, he quit that band and switched to country music. Darius said no one thought that was a good idea. One, because country audiences didn't know him at all. Two, because he would be labeled a black country singer. And generally, especially back then, that wouldn't work out. Darius has gone on to become one of the best-selling country singers of the past decade. And he has some perspective now about taking that risk and why he thinks it worked out.
