C O U R S E L E C T U R E Black Pop in the 1970s Notes taken on April 11, 2015 by Edward Tanguay |
black pop coming out of the 1960s and into the 1970s
there were two different worlds concerning what was happening in music in the 1970s
mostly FM rock and roll radio
mostly white rock and roll fans
was a kind of blending together or white rock, black music
deserves its own separate history
a kind of segregation between these two markets
a clear continuation of what was happening in the 1960s
main black pop artists and producers
a funk, soul and rock music collective
American record producer, and songwriter
founded 1959 in Detroit
expands the idea of moving the performers from craftsmen to artists
first to regularly feature soundtracks of funk and soul music as well as primarily black casts
good arguments whether that it belongs with black pop or not
a return of a dance craze
white rockers rejected disco quite violently
