Kak amerikanskaia populiarnaia muzyka stala POPSOI - Malov Iu.

A hundred years ago in the United States, when they talked and wrote about popular music, they meant exclusively classical music. The invention of sound recording, the emergence of the media industry and show business gave rise to a new product of mass consumption - light entertainment dance music: the so-called pop. It was she who, unceremoniously pushing the classics aside, took the place of the most popular music of our time. The author of the memoirs, international economist Y.A. Malov, presents a fascinating excursion into the past of the music culture of the United States, tells about the interesting details of the biographies of leading artists and performers, and shares personal impressions of the visiting places associated with the birth of jazz and country music. He also witnessed one of the last concerts of the King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley. Joining the music of Y.A. Malov was influenced by a friend of his youth, Gennady Gladkov, who became a famous Soviet and Russian composer. It is also covered in the pages of this book. For a wide range of music lovers.
