Covering the last seven decades, Stuart Maconie looks at the songs that have sound tracked our changing times, and - just sometimes - changed the way we feel. Beginning with Vera Lynn's 'We'll Meet Again', a song that reassured a nation parted from their loved ones by the turmoil of war, and culminating with the manic energy of 'Bonkers', Dizzee Rascal's anthem for the push and rush of the 21st century inner city, The People's Song's takes a tour of our island's pop music, and asks what it means to us. The story of modern Britain is told chronologically over 50 chapters, through the records that we listened to and loved during the dramatic and kaleidoscopic period from the Second World War to the present day. This is not a rock critique about the 50 greatest tracks ever recorded. Rather, it is a celebration of songs that tell us something about how we have felt about things in our lives down the eras - work, war, class, leisure, race, family, drugs, sex, patriotism and more. In times of prosperity or poverty this is the music that inspired haircuts and dance crazes, but also protest and social change. The companion to Stuart Maconie's landmark Radio 2 series, The People's Songs shows us the power of 'cheap' pop music,- one of Britain's greatest exports. These are the songs we have worked to and partied to, and grown up and grown old to - from 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' to 'Rehab', 'She Loves You' to 'Star Man', 'Dedicated Follower of Fashion' to 'Radio Ga Ga'. 541 1 $c Gift; $a Donna Parsons $d 2018 $5 IaU 650 0 $a Popular music $z Great Britain $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Music $x History $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Rock music $z Great Britain $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Rock music $x Social aspects $z Great Britain. 650 7 $a Music $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030444 650 7 $a Popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071344 650 7 $a Popular music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071422 650 7 $a Rock music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01099204 650 7 $a Rock music $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01099230 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Popular music. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Parsons, Donna S., $d 1966-2018, $e donor. $5 IaU 856 42 $u http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/giving/bookplate/?id=248 $z Donor Bookplate 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317033533.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F7B90B7AE96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
