Subject: RE: Origins: The Legend of Jolie Blonde From: GUEST Date: 18 Jun 10 - 07:02 PM I like the song but don't understand a word of it. I have been looking for the words. I would like it in both English and French |
Subject: RE: Origins: The Legend of Jolie Blonde From: Scoville Date: 04 Aug 06 - 05:24 PM I once heard a Cajun version of "Achy-Breaky Heart". Vast improvement--good dance beat and I couldn't understand a word of it. |
Subject: RE: Origins: The Legend of Jolie Blonde From: Dead Horse Date: 04 Aug 06 - 05:11 PM I thought all cajun waltz lyrics were about faithless women leaving their poor blameless husbands/boyfriends. :-) (and all the two-steps are about going to the dance and getting drunk) |
Subject: RE: Origins: The Legend of Jolie Blonde From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 04 Aug 06 - 04:34 PM Amedee Breaux first recorded "Ma Blonde Est Partie (Jolie Blonde) in 1929. Some say his sister Cleoma wrote it. What evidence is cited that it did not originate with the Breaux's? Did this artist invent the story of 'a prisoner ...'? The original is included in "Cajun Early Recordings," 4 CD set, JSP Records, B, Track 12 . The later version "Jolie Blonde" by the Hackberry Ramblers (1936) is in disc C, track 5. |
Subject: Origins: The Legend of Jolie Blonde From: GUEST Date: 04 Aug 06 - 02:11 PM Doing some research into the history of this classic Cajun waltz for a page on our site @ http://snipurl.com/jolie_blonde I found the following, on the renowned Cajun artist George Rodrigue's website: > "A prisoner in Port Arthur wrote a song based > on the legend "Jolie Blonde" in the 1920s. > It tells the story of a pretty blonde woman > who left her Cajun lover for someone else." Does anyone here know any more about this Cajun legend - or have any additional information about the song's authorship/ background that I can add to the above page. best to all Paul Castle The Rosinators http://www.soundclick.com/therosinators ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Listen to 'Joli Blon' by The Rosinators broadband / dial-up ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
