I'm surprised Harry Belafonte hasn't been mentioned on that 'world music before world music' thread yet. By rights he should top the list. He brought Miriam Makeba and Nana Mouskouri to the States for the first time. Bob Dylan made his first professional recording (playing harmonica) on one of his records. He made calypso internationally popular (in a good rather than Lance Percival/Roger Whittaker way). Like Tony Benn he gets more radical as he gets older, he's already been to Venezuela to support Mr Chavez. There is a somewhat self-conscious following of the Paul Robeson path, but he is up there among the greatest of black artists for the sheer range of his achievement.
