The Impact Of 30s Music

 I've decided to listen to more songs from the 1930s. I was actually surprised. 

Just like I said with the 1940s, music that decade was unbeatable and was my favorite out of all the music eras.

The 1930s is probably my 2nd favorite music decade in existence. Before, I didn't dislike it but I wasn't fond to knowing it all that much, but after listening to over 50 songs, I was listening to some underrated and classic gems.

I think the first time I ever truly liked this decade of music was with the Betty Boop cartoons. When I was little I was anti-old, vintage, so I didn't like to hear grainy audio.

But now, I LOVE IT!

What made the 30s music so fascinating and captivating, was that it was the start of actual good music. Big Bands, Swing, and high spirited energy all arrived and aged gloriously.

We didn't need overall filler and obnoxiousness like ragtime and quartets, we needed true sound and power!

Here's an example of a good song from this time period.

I love the intro to this one! It really fits in with a movie too. It has alot of creative lyrics. Dudley Mecum sure is a really overlooked and fun singer. 

It also picks up the pace a little which is what I like about it. 

Just feels like when the 30s hit, entertainment was at it's golden age. It's cool that we have internet nowadays to research and explore artists from the past. It's certainly a life changing experience.

It was also a golden age for black entertainers as well. I like alot of them, Duke Ellington for instance, I love his smile, Louis Armstrong is iconic, Billie Holiday is awesome and Cab Calloway is an absolute genius. 

When it comes to the songs I enjoyed the best so far from the 30s library, it's always the rare, unpopular ones. 

Like I said, I love Forty-Second Street.

I have a love for The Boswell Sisters.

I would boldly assume the 30s were more famous in pop culture, I mean I definitely agree. There were so much struggles, but also passion.

I love the old fashioned music the best because it tends to not be too loud nor boring either. You may not love it yourself, but I wouldn't recall you hating it. This era and especially the 40s was really interesting, it sets off for being the most influential eras of music to date.

Even though the musicians are not with us today, I still highly respect them, and they deserve to be experienced at least once to get the love and recognition.
