〝- Chicago Blues(1940s/50s): use of amplification, harmonica tremolos, heavy and rough vocal timbre, rhythmic guitar, bass, drums & piano
- Developed into Rhythm and Blues in 1950s〞(p.14)
Rhythm and Blues (R&B) 呢個 term 係 1948 年由 Billboard 雜誌嘅 Jerry Wexler 發明, 用以稱呼黑人流行音樂, 取代 race music 舊稱, Billboard 由 1949 至 1963 年有 Rhythm and Blues Chart。
Bill Haley 幾時做咗 Father of Rock 'n' Roll ??? (p.17)
Rock Around the Clock 係由佢唱紅, 但係原唱唔係佢, 而係 Sonny Dae & The Knights (Youtube 標題誤作 The Night)
Some of Elvis’s predecessors and contemporaries—including Mario Lanza,
Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra—made their reputations throughout the 1940s, 1950s,
and early 1960s singing passionate Italian love songs. They sang these songs in the
full-throated vocal style known as bel canto (beautiful singing). Much nineteenth- and
early twentieth-century opera, including the works of Bellini, Donizetti, and Verdi,
employs this style; a famous example of bel canto melody is “Nessun dorma” (None
shall sleep) from Puccini’s Turandot. Today most people think of Elvis as a rock-‘n’-
roller, or possibly as a movie star, but “It’s Now or Never”, recorded shortly after he
left the army, demonstrates his ability to sing beautifully and even ‘classically’ in an
arrangement of the Neapolitan melody “O sole mio” (O Lonely Me’)...........
O sole mio 係解作「我的太陽」, 唔係「寂寞的我」呀!!!
