Deák "Bill" Gyula

Hello!

 

When the local Hobo Blues Band opened for Chuck Berry in 1984, Budapest, Berry was backstage. He asked: "who's that black man singing?" The technicians told Him, He is Gyula Deák (nicknamed "Bill") and He is - in fact - white. Berry said: He never heard a white man with such a "black" voice.

 

So here He is, our legend. Check it out:

I think I could understand the word "blues" in there. [smile]

 

Hello!

 

As far as the lyrics are concerned, it is pretty much the usual blues topic: being poor, growing up in a slum ("Kőbánya" is the 10th district of Budapest - quite industrial and depressing).

 

I think, the voice speaks for itself...I hope at least.

 

Cheers... Bence

Yes. It is very good. I hope you know I was just having some fun. Whatever he is singing (I assume it's in Hungarian?), it's clear he means what he's saying. [thumbup]

 

Yes, I know. :)

 

It is a bit difficult for us Huns to present our culture with such a stand-alone language. It has no relatives, like the big family of the indo-european languages.

 

Cheers... Bence
