@meisme334 Letโs wait and see the turn out at theaters for HC6 which will be played in over 16 major cities . Especially since FBA has grown so much over the years including in major media and entertainment industry conversations
Friday Facts:
Blues: Musicians who had played juke joints and porches in the South now played on street corners for tips. In the 1920s-30s it was mostly acoustic Delta and Piedmont-style blues. By the 1940s, players began plugging into amplifiers, sometimes powered by car batteries or extension cords from nearby shops, to be heard over the crowds. This helped create Chicago electric blues. Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Jimmy Rogers, Howlin' Wolf, Bo Diddley, and Maxwell Street Jimmy Davis played there or in its orbit. The sound was later carried into clubs and onto Chess Records.
Gospel: Sacred music was just as present. Storefront churches and street singers filled the area, and gospel and blues often shared the same sidewalks and the same musicians. Thomas A. Dorsey, a blues pianist who played as "Georgia Tom," helped create gospel music in Chicago in the 1930s by blending blues feeling with sacred lyrics. Mahalia Jackson, who arrived in 1927, became its defining voice. Gospel gave migrants spiritual community, while blues spoke to daily hardship and freedom.
@1beingsogood Damn for the first time. I actually feel bad for these TETHERS . They just wanna be Black Americans, and be able to forget their homelands in peace .
