I had 15th live broadcast of “Pops
Lounge” yesterday in TBN Ulsan Traffic Broadcasting Network’s “Studio1041”. The
topic of yesterday's broadcast was “New wave music", a genre of
popular music which were popular in America in the 1970s.
I uploaded content of yesterday's
broadcast on YouTube, and please enjoy the below link.
Founded in 1885, the Detroit
Institute of Arts was originally located on Jefferson Avenue, but moved to its
current location on Woodward Avenue in 1927 as its collection rapidly expanded.
The Beaux-Arts building, designed by Paul Philippe Cret, was immediately called
the “temple of art.” Two wings were added in the 1960s and 1970s, and a major
renovation and expansion work began in 1999 and was completed in 2007.
The museum has over 658,000 square
feet, including more than 100 galleries, a 1,150-seat auditorium, a 380-seat
lecture/recital hall, an art reference library, and a state-of-the-art art
conservation lab.
With more than 65,000 works, the
Detroit Institute of Arts is among the top six in the United States by its
collection size. William Valentiner, director from 1924 to 1945, acquired many
important works that framed the present collection. Among his notable
acquisitions are Mexican artist Diego Rivera's “Detroit Industry” fresco mural,
which Rivera regarded as his most successful work, and Vincent van Gogh’s
“Self-Portrait”, the first Van Gogh painting to enter a U. S. Museum
collection.
A hallmark of the Detroit Institute
of Arts is the diversity of its collection. In addition to outstanding
American, European, Modern and Contemporary, and Graphic art, the museum holds
important works of African, Asian, Native American, Oceanian, Islamic and
Ancient art.
The works of Modigliani currently
in the possession of the Detroit Institute of Arts are as follows.
This week's lecture is “Musical
impact”, the 7th and last topic of “Blues”, which is a summary of the contents of “116. Blues: 7. Musical
impact” introduced on December 23rd, 2017.
The style, form, melody
of blues music and the blues scale have influenced many other genres of music,
such as rock and roll, jazz, and popular music. The blues scale is also
frequently used in popular songs like Harold Arlen's "Blues in the Night",
blues ballads such as "Since I Fell for You" and "Please Send Me
Someone to Love", and even in orchestral pieces such as George Gershwin's
"Rhapsody in Blue".
Harold Arlen
The blues scale can also be found in many places
in modern popular music, and the blues forms are used in the theme to teen idol
Fabian Forte's hit, "Turn Me Loose", country music star Jimmie
Rodgers' music and guitarist and vocalist Tracy Chapman's hit "Give Me One
Reason".

In the 1950s, soul
music by Sam Cooke, Ray Charles and James Brown used elements of gospel and
blues, and in the 1960s and 1970s gospel and blues were merged in soul blues
music. Funk music of the 1970s was influenced by soul, and funk can be seen as
a precursor to hip-hop and contemporary R&B, and R&B music can be
traced back to spirituals and blues.
Sam Cooke
Although the boundary
between blues and jazz wasn't clear before World War II, the jump blues of the
1940s mixed both styles. After World War II, blues had a significant influence
on jazz, and bebop classics such as Charlie Parker's "Now's the Time"
used the blues form.
Charlie Parker
Bebop brought a major
change in the role of jazz, from a popular music style for dancing to a high
art, less-accessible musician's music. As a result, the audience of both blues
and jazz split and the boundary between the two genres became clearer.
Blues
also had a major influence on rock and roll music, where "Hound Dog"
is a blues song adapted into a rock and roll song, and Jerry Lee Lewis' rock
and roll style was heavily influenced by the blues and its derivative
boogie-woogie.
Jerry Lee Lewis
Many early rock and
roll songs such as "That's All Right Mama", "Johnny B.
Goode", "Blue Suede Shoes", "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin
On", "Shake, Rattle, and Roll", and "Long Tall Sally"
are based on blues.
The 12-bar blues structure is also found in novelty pop
songs such as Bob Dylan's "Obviously Five Believers" and Esther &
Abi Ofarim's "Cinderella Rockefella".

Early country music was
infused with blues. Jimmie Rodgers, Moon Mullican, Bob Wills, Bill Monroe and
Hank Williams all described themselves as blues singers. In the 1970s, many of
"outlaw" country music by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings also
borrowed from the blues.
Willie Nelson
With the end of today's

of "Russian Romance" on June 15, 2019, will end. From the next time,
