Description
The birth of Pop is a story that predates the Beatles, Elvis, and the first seven-inch singles. It begins with the invention of the 78 rpm record at the end of the nineteenth century and spans the early years of the twentieth century. This book brings together the genres of music to tell the definitive story of Pop's origins, from its early beginnings to the mid-fifties. From the likes of George Gershwin writing songs for the masses, to the rise of swing and its eventual decline, the book explores the key figures and events that shaped the sound of Pop music. With its smart thinking and communicable enthusiasm, Let's Do It is a perfect guidebook to the fascinating and often forgotten creators of Anglo-American hit music in the first half of the Twentieth Century. With 672 pages of in-depth information, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Pop music.
