Description
The Persistence of Sentiment: A Critical Account of 1970s Pop Music. In the world of popular music, some performers have managed to achieve dedicated fan bases and commercial success despite critical disdain. Mitchell Morris examines the social contexts that contributed to their popularity, as well as the factors that led to their dismissal. This study focuses on artists from disadvantaged backgrounds who were able to tap into the musical styles and idioms that resonated with stigmatized audiences. Morris draws attention to the specific features of exemplary pop songs and explores how these artists navigated the complex commercial landscape of 1970s pop music. The author sheds light on the ways in which these artists' music was both celebrated and marginalized, and how their significance has evolved over time. By examining the intersection of music, social context, and cultural identity, Morris provides a nuanced understanding of the enduring appeal of certain performers from this era.
