威廉．克里斯多夫．汉迪 (William
Christopher Handy) 的曼菲斯蓝调 (Memphis
Blues) 出版了
1912年9月28日
你听不听蓝调音乐呢？如果你不听，那么你也一定听过被蓝调影响过的音乐 (一种伤感的歌曲，第二句歌词往往重复第一句歌词) 。许多艺术家，例如约翰．李．虎克 (John
Lee Hooker) 、比比金 (B.
B. King) 、可可．泰勒 (Koko
Taylor) 等人都是让感情浓烈的蓝调音乐成为传奇的主要人物。但是在他们之前，被认为是蓝调之父的威廉．克里斯多夫．汉迪，就已经把这种非裔美人的常规民俗音乐带到主流音乐市场上了。他的曼菲斯蓝调在1912年9月28日正式出版上市，改变了美国流行歌曲的风格。
到了1960年代，蓝调音乐已经对爵士乐、古典音乐，以及摇滚乐界的音乐人士造成深远的影响，例如阿蕾沙．法兰克林 (Aretha
Franklin) 与滚石合唱团 (Rolling
Stones) 等。蓝调音乐有没有影响到任何你所喜爱的歌曲呢？
Do you listen to the blues? If you haven't, you've definitely heard music influenced by the blues (a song of sadness in which the second line often repeats the words of the first). Artists such as John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, and Koko Taylor have made that sultry blues sound legendary, but before them, William Christopher Handy, the "Father of the Blues," brought the African-American folk tradition into mainstream music. The publication of his song "The Memphis Blues" on September 28, 1912, changed the course of American popular song.
By the 1960s, the blues sound had significantly influenced the development of jazz, classical music, and the rock and roll of such performers as Aretha Franklin and the Rolling Stones. Do the blues influence any of your favorite songs?
