jjares reviewed Fascinating Music Facts of the 1960s: Music Trivia Exploring Music Genres and Artists of the 1960s on + 3472 more book reviews
Thank goodness the author reminded readers of the individual songs the trivia was about; otherwise, I would have been clueless. The author segmented the stories into several parts, such as
FOLK MUSIC
TEEN IDOLS
SURF ROCK
THE BRITISH INVASION
COUNTRY MUSIC
MOTOWN
RHYTHM & BLUES
JAZZ
STUDIO BRANDS
HARD ROCK
PSYCHEDELIC MUSIC
CHANGING THE SOUND
WOODSTOCK
My personal favorite section was the studio bands: The Wrecking Crew (Los Angeles), The Funk Brothers (Detroit), The Swampers (Muscle Shoals, Alabama), Booker T & The M. G.'s (Memphis), and The Nashville Cats of Nashville. Years ago, I purchased a DVD about the Funk Brothers of Detroit. They were bitter because they were not recognized for their profound effects on music. However, their music was incredible. I enjoyed hearing about the other music centers that were the backgrounds for most of the music of the 1960s.
There was some repetition, but it was a pleasant walk down memory lane.
