Description: This program traces the roots of music in America where the rhythm and melody of Africa joined with the harmony of Europe to form new musical forms such as the blues and later jazz and ragtime. The songs of America's first great native composer, Stephen Foster, were the first popular "hits" in the United States. The development of the phonograph and moving-pictures offered music a new medium.
