American blues composer and musician (1873–1958)
Musical artist
William Christopher Handy (November 16, 1873 – March 28, 1958) was an American composer and musician who referred to himself as the Father of the Blues.[1][2] He was one of the most influential songwriters in the United States.[3] One of many musicians who played the distinctively American blues music, Handy did not create the blues genre but was one of the first to publish music in the blues form, thereby taking the blues from a regional music style (Delta blues) with a limited audience to a new level of popularity.[3]
Handy used elements of folk music in his compositions.
He was scrupulous in documenting the sources of his works, which frequently combined stylistic influences from various performers.[2]
Early life
Handy was born on November 16, 1873, in Florence, Alabama,[4] the son of Elizabeth Brewer and Charles Barnard Handy.
