To youse kids there:
Listen to some Lead Belly and/or Robert Johnson. maybe you can hear where it came from.



er and who was responsible for it ! YES the Brit's !!!

If we hadn't been involved in slaving and plantation owners, treating African slaves so badly then they would have written happy songs.

As usual, from the deepest pain and suffering comes the most powerful art.

Thankfully we live in more enlightened times and the end of slavery and ultimately, segregation in the Southern States made blues music accessible to a wider audience. Black GI based in the UK introduced us to it and the advent of easier international travel and communications has enabled the genre to reach a wider audience.

It's reminiscent of the folk music of Ireland, Scotland and even Lancashire and Yorkshire where times were hard.

I get really mad these days when someone manufactured girl band e.g. Spice Girls get awards in the R&B section.





If you do it today you MIGHT regret it. If you CAN'T do it tomorrow you WILL regret it.
