Blues， a type of music， developed during the late 19th century in the United States. It was started by African American performers. We can say blues music started around 1890， though we don’t have many records about the early history of blues.

The first publication(發行) of blues sheet music was Hart Wand’s “Dallas Blues” in 1912. Then W.C.Handy’s “The Memphis Blues” followed in the same year. The first recording by an African American singer was Mamie Smith’s “Crazy Blues” in 1920.

World WarⅡmarked the changing from acoustic(原聲的) to electric blues and great opening of blues music to many people， especially some white listeners.

During the 1930s， the blacks travelled north towards Chicago. They brought with them blues music， and soon the sound of it filled night clubs in the city. Chicago became the center of blues music. A new type of blues was made—Chicago blues and it was more powerful than all types before.

Blues music became even more popular in the late 1950s. In 1958 the Kingston Trio recorded the number 1 hit， Tom Dooley， which was ranked(排名) first at American folk songs ranking list. For eight years， from 1958 to 1966， the Newport Fork Festival introduced folk and blues music to the white American people. Finally， it became popular among the whites.

After this time， blues was fast merged(融合) with rock music to form the rock blues bands of the 1960s and 70s. The Rollings Stones， John Mayall， Led Zeppelin and others were all famous for their blues music. Blues also directly or indirectly influenced most of popular music during the 20th century， such as jazz， rock， and R&B.
