Sep 30, 2011 - @JamesErvin100 @JamesErvin100 If u want I can write a whole essay for u about how jazz shaped america's society and culture. But u can do it on ur own..open a book once in a while, learn something. Miners strikes, civil wars, legislation ALSO shaped America. One country can't be shaped by only one thing. And I'm sure I'm not an idiot, u don't know shit about my education. The "2nd rate" uni is the 3rd best uni in student polls and top 12 for music. I even had American classmates, imagine that!

It didn't shape America or anything like it. America and Europe shaped jazz. American and European metallurgy and instruments. For some reason Americans think they invented music or emotion while singing. I've seen fado in Portugal and listened to singers in Egypt that says otherwise.

Feb 11, 2012 - You clearly dont know what the hell you are talking aboutJazz was highly influential is shaping American culture throughout the 20th century

Feb 27, 2012 - Agreed, although in my opinion, they're not in her running.

Mar 10, 2012 - You know... I will agree with some things @geocool has to say. I don't think music shaped any culture. I think culture shapes music. The Big Band era died because of WW2. As polka and other european musicians traveled to america when it was first discovered, they brought thier talents that helped to for some of what American music will come to be. The History of the blues (which can be argued is one predecessor of jazz) is IN FACT started from field hollers during the days of slavery.

christopherxsax Says:

Mar 10, 2012 - Music in history has very RARELY drastically changed culture. Premier performance of Rite of Spring by stravinsky caused a riot. La Muette de Portici started the belgian revolution. But music isn't responsible for the war in iraq, the rise and fall of the economy, or even how well baseball tickets sell. These are all parts of a whole. Hell, if les paul hadn't invented the electric guitar there would be NO ROCK AND ROLL! (Rock and roll was like the daddy to most american music genres. Pop/Rap/etc

Phillphine Says:

Mar 11, 2012 - i think this is one of 3-4 songs she's written that could be future standards. if she has a decently long career and stays at least this proficient, she'll have a songbook like some of the past greats.

Mar 17, 2012 - Love it

itslikesexinyoears Says:

Mar 22, 2012 - This, my friend, is a cover.

Phillphine Says:

Mar 23, 2012 - because it has the feel of an older song i wondered about it, but every thing i've seen credits her as the composer. who wrote it if she didn't ?

May 24, 2012 - this is a cover? who is the author of original?
