The Blues

America is the cradle of many types of music derived from several roots. All the immigrants (13) came to settle in the New World brought their music with them and adapted it to their new environment and living conditions. However, (14) all of the people coming to America were immigrants in the proper sense of the word: The African slaves were transported (15) the Atlantic on slaving ships. They had no particular rights and were considered a property (16) than human beings. The horrific conditions of slavery, special musical feeling and the mixture of African and European roots are probably (17) makes the Afro-American music so unique.The most remarkable style of this music is, without question, the blues. So far it (18) influenced almost every genre, moreover, many genres (19) not have come into existence if it had not been (20) the blues. Country music and its sub-styles, rock&roll, jazz, rock, heavy metal, funk, hip hop - all of them have taken some elements of the blues. The blues has (21) regional variants, the major ones being Texas blues, East Coast Piedmont blues and Delta blues, the blues from the Mississippi Delta.

James Bond, like Flemming attended the famous Eaton College before joining the Royal Navy and eventually becoming a Commander.

Their were NATIONestablished in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' and are also linked to the real life ofIan Flemming who himself came from a Scottish family and was engaged to be marriedto a Swiss woman.

Commander Sir James Bond as we see him in films, is an agent of the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS).
