内容説明
?Doo Wop? captures the spirit of an era in spectacular visuals, revealing the roots of the 60’s music explosion with abundant background information and enticing images. The 50’s were rich in cultural events and iconic performances and this landmark volume traces the development of the music, politics, art, architecture and popular culture throughout this exciting and remarkable period. Each chapter delves into one or more years and focuses on the transformative events of the day. You’ll meet the pioneers who started it all, see Marlon Brando roar in to transform squeaky-clean youth in Italicise; discover how the songs we love emerged from African rhythms and culture; look at the 50’s sex symbols, like Bardot and Monroe; and watch the music grow up. The pages teem with archival photography, posters, album covers, newspaper articles, magazine covers, lyrics and more.
From Publishers Weekly
When it comes to doo wop, a pop music style Morrow describes as vocal harmony + rock ’n’ roll, the legendary DJ leaves no stone unturned as he traces the music back to its roots in early African-American slave songs. From there, he follows doo wop from its birth and its heyday in the ’50s to its decline in the late ’60s. As Morrow outlines the specific era of doo wop, he also gives sidebars on the groups—from superstars like the Platters to one-hit wonders like the Chords—that made it big during those years. As would be expected from a man who made his living behind the mike, Morrow displays a comfortable, conversational writing style that works well in this picture-heavy format (e.g., he writes of the romantic appeal of drive-ins: Funny how their popularity coincided with the Baby Boom, huh?). While the music history is the driving force behind this coffee-table tome, it’s the cultural asides on topics as diverse as the era’s people (Marilyn Monroe, Edward R. Murrow), places (diners, the Automat), sports (Jackie Robinson), politics (the red scare, JFK), kitsch (T-Birds, TV dinners) and entertainment (I Love Lucy, The Wild Ones) that will take readers back to America’s golden age.
