This is a timeline of music in the United States from 1920 to 1949. ==1920== * Vaudevillean Mamie Smith records "Crazy Blues" for Okeh Records, the first blues song commercially recorded by an African-American singer,〔Crawford, p. 562.〕〔〔Jones, p. 99.〕 the first blues song recorded at all by an African-American woman,〔Bird, p. 323.〕 and the first vocal blues recording of any kind,〔Malone and Stricklin, p. 45.〕 a few months after making the first documented recording by an African-American female singer,〔Southern, p. 369.〕 "You Can't Keep a Good Man Down" and "That Thing Called Love", which were successful enough for Okeh to commission "Crazy Blues".〔 Stylistically, it resembles other vaudeville music of the era, but it borrows a poetic and melodic form from African-American folk music, as well as elements of unrelated "field-holler" vocal practices. More than its traditional predecessors, this mixture would come to define and epitomize the blues for later generations. The song〔Davis, p. 29.〕 becomes a surprising commercial success that would open up the market for African-American music〔〔 by selling more than 8,000 copies a week for several months.〔 It is followed by a string of hits by African-American women singers.〔〔〔Chase, p. 496.〕 *A paper shortage contributes to a cost increase and a downturn in the sheet music publishing industry.〔Crawford, p. 675.〕 * Joseph Patek forms a family band that will become one of the longest-lasting and most influential Czech-Texan groups. * KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania claims to be the first radio station with regularly scheduled programs.〔Santelli, p. 8.〕〔Southern, p. 361.〕 * Michigan and Wisconsin organize their first state-sponsored band contests.〔Hansen, p. 251.〕 * Carl Fischer Music publishes the first full band music scores in the United States.〔 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「Timeline of music in the United States (1920–49)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
