Blues had a great influence on later American and Western pop music, including ragtime, jazz, bluegrass, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, country music and ordinary pop songs, and even modern classical music. They all contain blues elements or are developed from blues. [1] In poetry, this word is often used to describe melancholy. The word blues has the same meaning as "Blue devils", which means low-key mood, sadness and melancholy. As early as 1798, George Corman wrote a farce called "The Blue Devil, a Farce." In the 19th century the word was used to refer to delirium tremens and police. The use of the term in African American music may be older. "Memphis Blues" by William Christopher Handy in Memphis in 1912 is the earliest written record of the term in music.
