Studio 1041 “Pops Lounge” of TBN
Ulsan Traffic Broadcasting Network will be continued at 10:30 am every Tuesday.
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.

With the end of today's
lecture, “ACJ Music Academy” for over 3 years, started from the first lecture
of "Russian Romance" on June 15, 2019, will end. From the next time,
I will see you again with a new topic, “Interesting Music Stories,” introducing
the stories of music and musicians of various music genres. I would like to
express my sincere thanks to everyone who has watched my lectures with
interest.
I

1960s.
The
introduced “Rock music” will be told over two weeks, and the subgenres of “Rock
music” for yesterday were “Folk rock”, “Psychedelic rock” and “Surf rock”.

Summary
"I'm Not There" is a 2007
musical drama film directed by Todd Haynes and co-written by Haynes and Oren
Moverman. It is a biographical film inspired by the life and music of American
singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.
Bob Dylan
In the film, six actors, Christian Bale, Cate
Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, and Ben Whishaw,
depict different facets of Dylan's public personas. A caption at the beginning
of the film declares, "This film was inspired by Bob Dylan's music and
many lives." This declaration is the only mention of Bob Dylan in the
film, except for his songs, and his only appearance in the film is concert
footage from 1966 during the final moments of the film.
The title of the film is derived
from "I'm Not There," a song from Bob Dylan's album "The
Basement Tapes" in 1967, which was not officially released until it
appeared on the film's soundtrack album.
The Basement Tapes
The film received a generally
favorable response and topped in the lists of The Village Voice, Entertainment
Weekly, Salon and The Boston Globe.
In particular, Cate Blanchett, who was
nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Award, won Best Supporting
Actress at the Golden Globe Award and won Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the
Venice Film Festival, received special praise for her performance.
