The Blues is a form of music that originated in African-American communities of the United States. The music, characterized by flattened third, fifth, and seventh scale degrees, borrows from African spirituals and work songs. The blues has influenced or been reshaped into most of the genres now considered popular music, from jazz and bluegrass, to rock'n'roll and rhythm'n'blues, and hip-hop. This makes the blues the very foundation upon which most Western music is based, from John Lennon's "Yer Blues" to John Earl Walker's "Little Girl” – Chuck Berry and Elvis to modern alternative rock.
