Starting from vocal and oral traditions of  West African slaves, in his hand becomes a wide variety of styles, coloring  the United States music history and contaminates all over the world. William Christopher Handy was born in Florence, Alabama 16 November 1873. Formerly blues association with misery and oppression, but after long journey, blues could also becomes a happy rhythm as well, Song of The Soul. From Aunt Hagar's Blues, Sweet Home Chicago, Hoochie Coochie Man until the modern one Since I've Been Loving You, they're  part of the blues peregrination. And here is one of the most beautifulest blues songs in the world, Cab Calloway, Minnie the Moocher.


Hi folk's here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher 
she was a red hot hoochie coocher
she was the roughest, toughest frail
but Minnie had a heart a big as a whale

(hidey-hi's!)
