Decade - 1920s

Louis Armstrong (1901-1971) became known for his scat singing, notably on Heebie Jeebies (1926). However, there were earlier artists who employed scat, such as ragtime singer Gene Greene, Gene Rodemich, and Aileen Stanley. "Jelly Roll" Morton credited his early use of scat (around 1907) to the influence of Joe Sims, a comedian in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Jazz has been an evolving form of music from it's creation. You could say that it became popular in the 20's with the ragtime/dixieland trends, followed by swing in the 30's, bebop in the 40's, etc.

African Americans from the south brought jazz music with them to the northern cities during the Great Migration. It was at this point that Jazz along with other southern music styles like Blues became commercial. The Mississippi River became a route via either river or train of Jazz and Blues musicians as they headed northward to innovate and expand upon the music.

I think Paul Wesley became famous through the hit CW series The Vampire Diaries. He plays a vampire named Stefan Salvatore and has been on that show for 3 years. They are in the middle of their 3rd season.

It's an incredible show, I recommend it!

There were several groups did not share in the prosperity of the 1920s. One of those groups were sharecroppers of the deep South. They were still poverty stricken.

because it symbolized a new beginning in freedom and culture. and it also gave people the idea that anything was possible. it started new business and increased jobs and economic growth. also giving Africans Americans some type of authority of who they were.

A literary and cultural movement in the 1920s and 1930s that featured many great African-American writers was the Harlem Renaissance. Writes such as Zora Neal Hurston, Langston Hughes, and W. E. B. DuBois came from this movement.

Scientists like Hughes and Tesla were still experimenting around with the new invention, radio. In the late 1800's, they were transmitting, or attempting to, signals to other places to see if that place can hear their signal. So I would say radio in the late 1800's was not what we think of radio today, or even in the mid-1900's with radio shows, music, spots, etc.

There were many great composers who lived in the 1920ès. George Gerswin and Duke Ellington were two very important American composers from the 1920's.

The cost of a movie ticket in the year 1928 was 25 cents. The average cost of a movie ticket in 2014 is between 7 and 8 dollars.

People in the 1920s listened to music on the radio and danced to it. They had Dance Marathons every weekend. Dance was very popular Some dances include: the Charleston, fox-trot, shimmy, waltz and tango.

They were usually "candle stick"-like with a speaker for talking in on the top of the candlestick base and an sound attachment for hearing connected to the bottom base by a cord for hearing.

There were several popular motion picture actors in the 1920s. The list included Gary Cooper, Charlie Chaplin, John Barrymore, Buster Keaton, and Rudolph Valentino. Actresses included Greta Garbo, Katherine Hepburn, Olivia de Havilland, Claudette Colbert, and Joan Crawford.

Radio had a very important effect-- it brought sports directly into people's homes. Before radio, you either waited for the newspaper to come out, with a report of the game; or you had to go to the game itself (which excluded poor people who could not afford tickets; and in some cities, it excluded black people who were not allowed in a segregated venue). Radio was somewhat of an equalizer-- now anyone could hear the game, in real-time, as it was happening. It no longer mattered what your race or social status was.

Because more people could hear the games, sports also became more popular as a topic of conversation. Talk shows were not technologically possible yet, but a larger number of people now had access to sports, and it enhanced the experience of being a fan; people gathered to listen to a game together, and then they talked about the results. Also, radio allowed fans to hear the voices of their heroes for the first time. A number of big sports stars, including Babe Ruth, were interviewed and the public really enjoyed it, even if just like today, the athletes did not have a lot to say that was new or interesting. Just hearing their voices made the fans feel closer to their favorites (this would, years later, be further enhanced by television, which would enable fans to both see and hear the star athletes).
