If European bands as Rolling Stones (1962), Led Zeppelin (1968) popularized blues music in America and then blues music in America gave birth to Rock-n-Roll then how Elvis Presley was playing Rock-n-Roll in 1953.
Thanks so much! I used this to introduce the Blues to my Grade 6 class. Awesome!

White Americans could not culturally accept Black artists. The music has to be brought back by White Europeans for it to be available to a white US audience.

BLUE IS SKY! BLUES HIGHER THAN SKY 😎
I've been meaning to post a tracklist in the video description. The song at 0:33 is Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground." A truly beautiful piece. It changed my life.
Can you.make a video on the start/history of reggae please. X
Surprised they are even teaching this in school, I never had that. I’m just here because I find it fascinating.
...Your documentary is well done and informative...Just a technical suggestion, you r voice has to be slightly louder to better hear wha you are saying.
thought this was gonna be a boring hw vid but this was great!
POV: you’re doing this for class ;w;
My music teacher gave us this vid to watch like-
Great job. Would it be possible for us to include it on a CD we're doing for the Blues in da Parish Festival?
No problem!
Yeah, that would be awesome! I emailed the Blues in da Parish website. Hope to hear from you soon!
doing this for homework
Hard to imagine a world without blues
nice doccie! it's surprisingly hard to find any books or info providing a concise history of contemporary western music. if you have any suggestions it would be much appreciated.
including you on my right
0:33 That sounds so beautiful. I'd love to know the name of that song and/or artist.
bruh school make this so popular
I recommend Alan Lomax
pretty sure muddy waters is recognized as the first in electric blues
Thank you! Yes, my friend Aaron and I did a lot of research to bring this short documentary together! Much of the information we learned came from original interviews, books, and other documentaries. If you are interested in learning more about the blues, I suggest checking out Alex Lomax's, "The Land Where Blues Began." This book was truly a wealth of information. I also suggest taking a look at a seven-part PBS blues film series produced by Martin Scorsese simply titled, "The Blues."

I’d be humble and say the origin of american music. Its just like the superbowl “world champs”

Really liked the recognition of the contributions of J.B. Lenoir, who was a landmark "protest" blues singer. I don't think his contribution to the civil rights movement is fully appreciated.
Can't believe that the game was the representative of rap haha
im like 100% sure we're all here for homework and no one is actually watching this out of choice
who’s at 2:16?
The video says that classic blues was revived after WW2 as a reaction to the "European invasion" - right... 'coz the Cream and the Rolling Stones were fro BEFORE WW2, weren't they?

This is an excellent short synopsis of the blues... the music is authentic, the pictures really represent the times. As a Kindermusik educator, part of the curriculum is to introduce African American music to children 5 - 7 yrs old. On my website, I wrote an article and included this video to provide a bit more background than I can introduce in class. musiconnx.com/2008/10/blues-learning-from-each-other-not-from-paper/ I credited the creator, Grayson Goga, and truly hope he will allow me to keep this video there for my students and for other Kindermusik families around the world.

I am the aforementioned Aaron, I want to express my own gratitude. We really enjoyed putting this together and we're both very passionate about blues music. It means the world to me that you're using what we made to teach young kids about blues and musical history, thank you so much.
Homework.
As cool as it would have been... the blues very much did not originate in the Delta. It was commercial before it every reached the Delta and without the commercial success inspiring young workers on the recently excavated land, we wouldn't have the delta blues.
Rw?
"Meet Me in the City" by The Black Keys. Actually a cover of Junior Kimbrough's original.
only watching for music work bruh

This is really impressive. Just wondering, if you did some research for this, where did you get it from? Also, I find it a bit sad that in return for slavery and torture the black community gave us modern music!

Hi
Kind of a distortion of the history of the blues with too heavy an emphasis on white teenage Europeans. Entertaining none the less and does contain factual information. I give a 8, easy to dance too....
