''Blues & Soul'' is a British music magazine covering black music. Genres covered include soul, R&B, jazz, hip hop, reggae and world music.〔(Blues and Soul online )〕 Under its initial title, ''Home of the Blues'', it was launched in May 1966 and is known for first using the term "Northern soul". The music journalism archive Rock's Backpages describes ''Blues & Soul'' as "a pioneering British music magazine"〔("Blues & Soul" ), Rock's Backpages (retrieved 11 June 2015).〕 and "the longest running publication devoted to black music in the world".〔 The magazine was founded by John Abbey,〔 a devotee of American R&B music, when he was working for a travel agency in London. It soon gained popularity in the UK and Europe, and in issue number 12 changed its name to ''Blues & Soul''. In addition to Abbey's contributions, material was provided by writers such as former Motown press officer Sharon Davis and British soul fan Dave Godin. The business gradually expanded and Abbey set up an associated record label, Contempo. Abbey moved to Atlanta, Georgia in the mid-1970s, and the editorship was taken over by Bob Killbourn in 1979.〔 Another important contributor, David Nathan, began writing for ''Blues & Soul'' in the early 1970s, first in London, then from 1975 as the magazine's principal New York correspondent.〔("David Nathan" ), Rock's Backpages (retrieved 11 June 2015).〕 By 2006, the magazine had published 1000 issues.〔( Bob Killbourn, "Picking up the reins", ''Blues & Soul'' magazine (undated) ). Accessed 23 November 2012〕 In 2011, the magazine still exists online, helmed by editor Lee Tyler plus assistant editor (and long-time contributor) Pete Lewis. The magazine returned in printed form in August 2010 with a special vintage edition. Examples of some of Lewis' more recent cover/header features include John Legend,〔(John Legend interview by Pete Lewis, ''Blues & Soul'', October 2010 )〕 Kelly Rowland〔(Kelly Rowland interview by Pete Lewis, ''Blues & Soul'', June 2010 )〕 and Maxwell.〔(Maxwell interview by Pete Lewis, ''Blues & Soul'', October 2009 )〕 Soul acts recently covered include Lionel Richie,〔(Lionel Richie interview by Pete Lewis, ''Blues & Soul'', March 2009 )〕 The Temptations〔(The Temptations interview by Pete Lewis, ''Blues & Soul'', March 2010 )〕 and The Four Tops.〔(The Four Tops interview by Pete Lewis, ''Blues & Soul'', February 2010 )〕 Meanwhile, contemporary UK artists recently interviewed include Taio Cruz,〔(Taio Cruz interview by Pete Lewis, ''Blues & Soul'', October 2009 )〕 Jay Sean〔(Jay Sean interview by Pete Lewis, ''Blues & Soul'', March 2010 )〕 and Corinne Bailey Rae.〔(Corinne Bailey Rae interview by Pete Lewis, ''Blues & Soul'', February 2010 )〕 Examples of interviewees over the years include Smokey Robinson,〔(Smokey Robinson interview by Pete Lewis, ''Blues & Soul'', December 1992 (reprinted February 2009) )〕 Jay-Z〔(Jay-Z interview by Pete Lewis, ''Blues & Soul'', December 1998 (reprinted August 2009) )〕 and Amy Winehouse.〔(Amy Winehouse interview by Pete Lewis, ''Blues & Soul'', April 2004 (reprinted February 2008) )〕 In July 2011, ''Blues & Soul'' was relaunched permanently in print as a two-monthly magazine alongside its ongoing presence online. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blues & Soul」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
