Pop music is such an interesting musical genre in that it has gone
through so many transformations and includes so many subgenres.
There are elements of rhythm and blues, doo wop, folk, girl groups,
funk, surf, soul, psychedelic, bubble gum, hard rock, acoustic,
jazz and everything in between - all blended together in a musical
smorgasbord. Elvis Presley brought with him his roots in gospel and
blended that with rockabilly and rock'n'roll. Jerry Lee Lewis
brought the piano to the forefront. The Everly Brothers brought
harmonies and Buddy Holly a rockabilly mixture. It began as a
melting pot of musical genres and remains that way to this day.
There have been some defining moments in pop music history. From
the first time a electric guitar was utilized to the first pop
single to use a drum machine or synthesizer, it seems that the
genre is always re-inventing itself. We had the great R&B
groups of the fifties, girl groups of the sixties and vocal
harmonies of the Platters, and of Simon and Garfunkel. The folk
music scene was very influential., especially Peter Paul and Mary,
Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan, and so were the surf melodies of the
Beach Boys, the instrumentation of the Ventures and the legendary
vocals and pop songs of the Supremes - all add to this broad
musical landscape. A horn section a la Chicago and Blood, Sweat and
Tears, the string section of Electric Light Orchestra and the
George Martin-led strings of the Beatles all helped to transform
the genre. Amy Winehouse Jamiroquai Justin Timberlake Massive
