Let legendary rock manager Simon Napier-Bell take you inside the
(dodgy) world of popular music - not just a creative industry, but
a business that has made people rich beyond their wildest dreams.
He balances seductive anecdotes - pulling back the curtain on the
gritty and absurd side of the industry - with an insightful
exploration of the relationship between creativity and money. This
book describes the evolution of the industry from 1713 - the year
parliament granted writers ownership over what they wrote - to
today, when a global, 100 billion pound industry is controlled by
just three major players: Sony, Universal and Warner. Inside you
will uncover some little-known facts about the industry, including:
how a formula for writing hit songs in the 1900s helped create
50,000 of the best-known songs of all time; how Jewish immigrants
and black jazz musicians dancing cheek-to-cheek created a template
for all popular music that followed; and how rock tours became the
biggest, quickest, sleaziest and most profitable ventures the music
industry has ever seen. After reading Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-Ay, you'll
never listen to music in the same way again.
