Most Influential American Musician of All Time?


Who do you regard as the most influential (i.e., musically, not necessarily commercially) American musician of all time across all genres?

The more I learn about Louis Armstrong, the more I am persuaded that he deserves that honor.

There are probably different ones for different genres.
Armstrong, Presley, Dylan all deserve the nominations. One not mentioned so far is Gershwin. A man who conquered Broadway, Hollywood, and the Concert Hall. Left us memorable music and was adept at what he did.
