Big Band music dominated the first half of the twentieth century… Rock ‘n’ Roll ruled the second half… but between the two there was the decade of fun and infectious EASY-POP music and captivating vocalists.
EASY-POP music defined the decade of the 1950s, that seminal time in popular music when big bands were fading but rock ‘n’ roll had not yet arrived. Jukeboxes, 45rpm records, black & white TV, sock-hops, drive-in movies, and top-ten hits on the car radio characterized popular culture. Using materials collected from a career as a radio DJ, a researcher, and a college professor this site analyzes 50s EASY-POP music.
