Before the Beatles, pop music had been dominated by America. The blues was the music of American black people; country 'n' western belonged to the poorer white farmers. In the 1950's, the rhythms of blues were added to country 'n' western and the result was rock'n'roll.
Bill Haley's Rock Around The Clock was the first song which really belonged to teenagers. It was the beginning of rock'n'roll. In many ways, it was also the beginning of the story of pop.
This book follows the story of pop since the 1950's -the stars and songs that helped to divide the generations- the fans that made it all possible.
