Volume 4 addresses one of the most popular and enduring musical genres The Blues. This episode features BB King Leadbelly and Billy Holliday. Blues is a word you have to think about before it can be understood. Contrary to popular belief blues as a form of music does not appear until 1910 or so that is after ragtime and jazz. Blues is not therefore the cornerstone of popular music. Rather it has become an emotional response through music to a variety of oppressive social conditions. The Episode begins in the Delta of Mississippi and follow the progress of itinerant blues musicians to the steel mills and automobile factories of Chicago; from harmonica and fiddle to electric guitar and fashionable nightclub. Finally the Episode shows how blues phrases and harmonies were stolen by white rock n rollers in need of a new gimmick.

For most of its history popular music has rarely been that which most people like. Jazz for instance has always been a minority interest. But in the era which was dominated by swing the music and its popularity were equally matched. White musicians became bored with the asinine popular music they were expected to play music pumped out by Tin Pan Alley and tried to emulate the style and freedom of their black counterparts. Most of them were too intelligent as musicians to indulge in mere imitation. What they created was the first white music based on black music which was not stolen from black music.

It was the deliberate and conscious achievement of lyricist Oscar Hammerstein (who wrote among others Showboat and Oklahoma) and the director Rouben Mamoulian. Against considerable opposition both critical and commercial they created a new art form which was unique and yet familiar.
