@@kadhirindrakumar9184 nice
beautiful thank you
marvelous. thank you.
Dang everyone here bc of home work so am I 😭
Great film! Thank you!
Our pleasure! Thanks to all for watching.
kinda weird, how it took the europeans to show the US what they were ignoring.
the US ignored Jimi Hendrix ...
nicolas Duboux right on!
HughJass What were they ignoring?
US is fucking retarded
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.
Thank you brother
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.
Anyone else has this for homework?
Me lol
Me and it’s so sad
The background music needs to be quieter. I struggled to hear what he said.
exactly
I think the editors went overboard
Same 😭
I’m watching this cause of its learning
lmfaoo yessssss
Love the cut time back beat in "Meet me in the city" never heard it before.
I watched this in class just liked the music it slaps
Bruh I know
Oh I totally forgot to take that comment off because I ended up reading the track listings on the end credits. But thanks for the response. And yes, I'm really glad I found that song thanks to your video. It really is something else.
need this for home work lol
This people were real Legends... Uniqueness gave us life
I am watching because I have homework about it too so I have to watch it
EVERYONE NEEDS THIS FOR HOMEWORK HAHA
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.
Thanks!
I am saving this!
cheers for this video really helped me in class ;)
wshut up
@@yianomaly3092 lmao bored of class and the video and just bullying people in the comments? same!
half of the comments are here for a school homework. i guess thats the only unit they could think about
Amazing
This will help me in my history homework thanks!
History I'm here for music lol
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, didn't know the boll weevil had something to do with this. Always heard of it as a pestilence around here when I was a kid.
BLUE IS SKY!
BLUES HIGHER THAN SKY 😎
POV: the teacher wants you to watch this for music homework 😞
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 cant hear too much music
thought this was gonna be a boring hw vid but this was great!
Can you.make a video on the start/history of reggae please. X
POV: you’re doing this for class ;w;
Surprised they are even teaching this in school, I never had that. I’m just here because I find it fascinating.
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.
Yeah, that would be awesome! I emailed the Blues in da Parish website. Hope to hear from you soon!
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?
...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.
doing this for homework
Hard to imagine a world without blues
No problem!
0:33 That sounds so beautiful. I'd love to know the name of that song and/or artist.
pretty sure muddy waters is recognized as the first in electric blues
watched this in my English class btw :)
What is that song at the end?
my favourite part was with the albums
I recommend Alan Lomax
including you on my right
bruh school make this so popular
@ 1:53 who's name did he say??
Where can I find that song
What's the song that starts around 3:29? Thanks!
ALABAMA BLUES J.B. lenoir
I gotta write a paragraph of blues music :(
RIP BB KING
this dude only has 122 subs but 137k views

Q23
ER
Can't believe that the game was the representative of rap haha
The narrator’s voice is so muffled. Like he just woke up and this straight in the morning. Edit: can you louden your voice a little bit. It doesn’t sound that clear.
and speaks too fast.
I think he sounds fine. I've been looking for this all night stfu .
nvm I'm furhter in my bad
The Black Keys and Jack White lean heavy on the blues but most people don’t recognize them as such.
"Meet Me in the City" by The Black Keys. Actually a cover of Junior Kimbrough's original.
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?
of course. don't you remember the Cream classic "D-Day Blues" ?
who’s at 2:16?
I got this for WG, anyone else?
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.
im like 100% sure we're all here for homework and no one is actually watching this out of choice
am I the only one who cant open the transcript?
No I can’t either
0:20
I don't get it
Rw?
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.
Homework.
only watching for music work bruh
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 delighted that you found the content of our video both authentic and enjoyable. By all means, please keep the video posted on your website. It means so much to my friend and co-creator Aaron and I that this short documentary is being appreciated by many interested viewers! Thank you for all of your support!
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.
*Alan Lomax*
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!
Thank you for recognizing this
Tbs music
I am 2 😂😭
chat is this chat chat
I’d be humble and say the origin of american music. Its just like the superbowl “world champs”
90% of the people came here because of school

I can say some information given here is incorrect. My music teacher showed us and told us himself
Hi
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....
is everyone here because school
wow most of the 139,325 views are for homework (also me)
