btoth76 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 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: Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I think I could understand the word "blues" in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 I think I could understand the word "blues" in there. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever he is singing (I assume it's in Hungarian?), it's clear he means what he's saying. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
