Using this video for school.... :P

[MiajahMarable]

what genre would these songs be?

[Jantv81]

@MiajahMarable Remember that the 1930s and 1940s was an era of easy listening, big bands and swing. Everything after 1954 comes under the era of Rock n Roll.

[ScotsmanRex]

@MiajahMarable Music! J/K Popular songs i guess.

[magcarril]

This music has been assimilated by our constant listening throughout the years. It' really a great manifestation of the evolution of American music. Thanks.

Peace Via Music VIVA MARIA

Jazz or Big Band as it was known became a huge influence on Rock n Roll. Perhaps more so than country swing.

Best songs of 1940 - 1949.... Now wonder why my Grandfather was so pissed all the time! JK Glen Miller was the first song I learned to play on the sax and I was able to play it for my grandparents 65 anniversary 2 years before my grandfather passed away. =)

Well done. Hope to learn some of these on guitar

In the fifties music gets better and there 's more swing and rock and roll

[StylistecS]

@xaporst you mean there is more rock and roll and rhythm. Because swing defined the 40s.

[xaporst]

@StylistecS

Yes, you're right there. I know the swing from the 40s. Thanks! ;)

[escritora84]

Nat King Cole is one of my all-time favorites. Thank you for posting this, I think we should learn more about our musical history, rather than the trash that's out today.

[thecoolsammy]

[gurd502]

@MrRussiantaco In the mood by Glenn Miller, it said it right after the title...
