But it's a bit less widely understood that in about 1950, this stream of great songs more or less dried up. All of a sudden, what came over the radio wasn't Gershwin, Porter, and Berlin, but "Come on-a My House" and "How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?" Elvis and rock and roll arrived a few years later, and at that point the game was truly up. What happened, and why? In The B Side, acclaimed cultural historian Ben Yagoda answers those questions in a fascinating piece of detective work. Drawing on previously untapped archival sources and on scores of interviews--the voices include Randy Newman, Jimmy Webb, Linda Ronstadt, and Herb Alpert--the book illuminates broad musical trends through a series of intertwined stories. Among them are the battle between ASCAP and Broadcast Music, Inc.; the revolution in jazz after World War II; the impact of radio and then television; and the bitter, decades-long feud between Mitch Miller and Frank Sinatra. The B Side is about taste, and the particular economics and culture of songwriting, and the potential of popular art for greatness and beauty. It's destined to become a classic of American musical history" -- $c from publisher's web site. 650 0 $a Popular music $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Popular music $x History and criticism. $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Popular music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071422 650 7 $a Popular music $x Writing and publishing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071469 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 12 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417013530.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317032549.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204075648.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110061606.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20191002012246.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717025847.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107050210.0 952 $l HYAX325 $d 20180623024406.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826105339.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20160506011141.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20160407023847.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20150515011837.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9420A49CAC3B11E48C2CF5F2DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b LG@Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
