There are just as many for me who fall into this category as there are "I had no idea they were white."
For starters:
Chris Walker
Gary U.S. Bonds
Gavin Christopher

Look no further than a man who is now a country artist. The man formerly known as "Hootie"-Darius Rucker

Several years ago I was astonished to learn that the late front man for the Irish band Thin Lizzy --- Phil Lynott--- was half black. (His father was a black Brazilian and his mother a white Irish woman.)

Mariah Carey fits that description too. I would have thought she was mostly white, but I did learn she is African-American in some form.

Peaches & Herb. Till I saw an album cover of them.
Same with the twin sisters in Soho, who sing “Hippychick.”

Mac and Katie Kissoon of "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" fame. Also the Foundations -- a mixed-race group. I discovered they were not all-white when they appeared on This is Tom Jones
OTOH, I was shocked that the O'Kaysions ("Girl Watcher") were white!

Shannon (Let the Music Play). Conversely, I thought Madonna was black when "Holiday" came out.

Just found out this one a few minutes ago.
RB Greaves - on his way to #2 50 years ago today - was from Guyana. I always assumed he was from Mexico because of the way that song sounded.
God I'm such a racist.
Apparently this is where all the kids say "OK Boomer". That's a thing now, I guess.
