Genre Representations - Blues

• Blues music isn't a common genre in the modern, if around at all. Most soul is found in the 60's, such as in the era of Aretha Franklin and Etta James.
• Blues music was typically black and white in colour, because colour television wasn't around when the music video was released. They are usually performance based videos, with back up singers doing a simple dance routine in the background, and the artist at the front singing (with a corded microphone).
• An example of a Blues song is Say a Little Prayer - Aretha Franklin
