| Department: | Music |
| Description: | The story of popular music in the US from 1955 to 1985 is a story of hit records, overnight successes, one-hit wonders, massive wealth and fame, generational change, peace and love, soul sisters and brothers, and brilliant innovations in every popular genre from rockabilly to funk and hip-hop to punk. But it is also a story of systemic racism, blatant misogyny, generational strife, payola, organized crime, occasional violence, and tragedies wrought by substance abuse. In other words, the story of popular music in the second half of the 20th century is a broad window into the social and cultural tensions and changes of the period. In this class, employing the tools of historical and musicological analysis, we well delve into the story of the music still loved by tens of millions. MUS-204-02=HIS-240-04 |
