- Synopsis"It is generally assumed that American popular music comes from the coastal regions of Africa; that the blues developed in the mississippi Delta and became the corner stone of everything from ragtime to rock'n'roll. All these assumptions are untrue. This second episode of a 17-part series seeks to uncover the real story. The programme takes you to the edge of the Sahara, Austria, Arkansas, New Orleans, Texas - and includes rare film of Duke Ellington, James Brown and the original Platters". (Synopsis)
