The 'blues' came about as the result of tough living conditions and hard times. Experiences that were then set to music. The actual time frame seems to vary depending on the source. It may have started in the mid to late 1700's give or take 100 years. It was the blues that essentially influenced other styles of music but had it's beginnings deeply rooted in Gospel Music.
