Born in the country. blues was the original influencer of jazz and continued to be popular long after jazz took off. Blues music, along with jazz, continued to influence and inspire musicians for decades to come to continue playing blues as well as to create new styles of music. Musicians such as Ma Rainey, “The Mother of Blues” and Jimmie Rodgers “The Father of Blues” made blues the success it was in the 1920s and the foundation for new music later on. Guitarists such as Blind Blake and banjo players like Charlie Poole inspired musicians with their styles and techniques (“1920s Jazz, Blues, Radio”).
Jerry Wexler, who was a record executive from Atlantic Records, saw the band play at a record release party and asked them to play the Montreux International Jazz Festival in Switzerland. They were the first unsigned act to play at the festival. They were booked on a jazz acoustic night, which was supposed to be soft music, but because of Stevies loud sound the crowd didn’t like it and started to boo them. As they went backstage, thinking that the show was a disaster, celebrities David Bowie and Jackson Browne happened to be in the audience. Browne asked the band if they wanted 72 hours of free studio time at his studio in L.A. Also, David Bowie asked Stevie to play on his album Let’s Dance.

Angry whites in the South during this period of time would go to any measure to satisfy their hate for an individual of a different race. Rosaleen really changes during this trial; she becomes bitter towards whites, even towards Lily, whom she is close to. Continuing on page 52 Rosaleen learns about the black Madonna. “If Jesus’ mother is black, how come we only know about the white Mary?” The quote is what Rosaleen was thinking when she saw the picture Lily had found in her mother’s items. This is not just a picture of a black version of Mary; it is a picture of the African American’s gaining their rightful freedoms in 1964.
One southern blues artist that influences The North Mississippi Allstars is R.L. Burnsides, who wrote a song called Po Black Mattie. This song is about Burnside’s past lover, who has gotten kicked out of her present lover’s house and the fact that Burnside wants to see her again. N.M.A covered this song and made it much more contemporary compared to Burnside’s acoustic original because of the use of distortion on the electric guitar. Other than the obvious mention about Memphis, this songs lyrical material is Southern rock/ blues because the southern dialect used to tell the story conveys a Southern vibe.
The artist gave off a deep sense of importance to the town of Memphis and the meaning it had to Huey and the effect it had throughout the play. I believe they used three main themes, the first is pursuit. Huey’s passion and courage lead him into that club and into the life of Felicia and to his vow that he would make her famous one day. The second is discovery; Huey finds himself a job on the radio and finally is able to promote Felicia and her unknown blues music to Memphis and fulfilling his promise to her. Lastly, sacrifice plays a large role in both Huey and Felicia’s role while the play is coming to a conclusion.
Barriers were broken, people were brought together and prejudices were forgotten at this event that would soon be talked about worldwide as that music festival that changed the world for the better.

She later changed her name to Fanny Brice and got her first professional job in the chorus of The Talk of the Town but ironicely she got fired during rehearsals by the big current star George M. Cohen. Young Fanny was a strong fighter and didn't give up her dream of entertaining. She then finally landed a spot in The Trans-atlantic Burlesquers where she did an Irving Berlin song, "Sadie Salome, Go Home." She did this in a Yiddish dialect seeing that she looked the way she did. Although she was not Jewish, she quoted " In anything Jewish I ever did, I wasn't standing apart making fun.
Women also sing along to woman-hating lyrics, so that makes it ok for the artists to continue to produce those woman-hating lyrics. Too many women sing along to those woman hating because they allowed the men to decide which women are worthy of respect and which women are worthy to be called names. In the third division, Mclune exclaims,” as a black woman who views sexism as just as much the enemy of my people as racism, I can’t buy the apologies and excuses for hip-hop.” She is more concern about black men downgrading their own women and being appreciated for it.
