Description
The aim of this book is to provide a complete handbook of information and opinion about the history of the music of the 1960s. There are over 1000 entries on the bands, musicians, songwriters, producers and record labels of this decade, everyone who had any significant impact on the development of rock and pop music. From the Beatles-led British invasion of America to the States' own pop figures such as the Beach Boys, from the rise of Motown and Atlantic, to the arrival of psychedelia, this encylopaedia aims to answer any query about any aspect of 60s music. As well as the giants of the decade, the book also includes those artists who flourished briefly such as Scott McKenzie and Annette Funicello.
