Billie Holiday
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Sprung forth into a world of racial intolerance combined with a significant appreciation for music, Billie Holiday set the stage for other black artists to follow. Her gutsy vocals and equally solid physical presence established her as one of the music industry's most prominent figures. Her music was able to reach people who had heretofore not learned to appreciate the sultry sounds of jazz, which – along with such greats as Louis Armstrong -- she helped to gain acceptance into mainstream society. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Black Musical Hybrids.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) A hybrid of anything is the offspring of
"genetically differing parents;" or one of "mixed
origin or composition." For a change Mr. Webster
is not too far off. A musical hybrid, then has a
similar definition, a musical "child" of different
parents. In this discussion we will examine some
of those musical hybrids as well as looking at what
influenced their development. People may not know
about the "art" element of African American music,
but that's true of the society at large. Classical
music, in general, has nothing to do with the listening habits of the average American. When you combine that indifference with separatism or racism, no wonder the African American share of performances or broadcasts is considerably smaller.
Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Bob Dylan -- the Social and Musical Evolution of Folk Music to
“Folk-Rock”
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses singer and songwriter
Bob Dylan and is role as one of the major figures in American
folk and rock music. It is important to understand that Dylan
came to prominence in the midst of truly significant social,
political, and ideological change in the United States. One
critic wrote in 1998 that: “Bob Dylan couldn't wait for the music
to change. He couldn't be only part of the change. He was the
change itself. Unlike other songwriters who voiced their politics
through their music, Dylan garnered widespread popularity as his
words seemed to echo the sentiments of teens of thousands of
thousands of the young “rebels” of the 1960s. He was thought of
as both a musical and political visionary and apparently viewed
himself in equally epic proportions. Bibliography lists 8
sources.
