Popular music artists, as performers in the public eye, offer a
privileged site for the witnessing and analysis of ageing and its
mediation. The Late Voice undertakes such an analysis by
considering issues of time, memory, innocence and experience in
modern Anglophone popular song and the use by singers and
songwriters of a 'late voice'. Lateness here refers to five primary
issues: chronology (the stage in an artist's career); the vocal act
(the ability to convincingly portray experience); afterlife
(posthumous careers made possible by recorded sound); retrospection
(how voices 'look back' or anticipate looking back); and the
writing of age, experience, lateness and loss into song texts.
There has been recent growth in research on ageing and the
experience of later stages of life, focusing on physical health,
lifestyle and psychology, with work in the latter field
intersecting with the field of memory studies. The Late Voice seeks
to connect age, experience and lateness with particular performers
and performance traditions via the identification and analysis of a
late voice in singers and songwriters of mid-late twentieth century
popular music.
