Let legendary impresario Simon Napier-Bell take you inside the
world of popular music: not just a cradle for talent and
expression, 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. The Business describes the evolution of the industry from
its birth in the eighteenth century to the huge global market it
has become today. Inside you will uncover a treasure trove of
musical facts, including how a formula for writing hits 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
established a template for all popular music that followed; and how
rock tours became the biggest, quickest, sleaziest and most
profitable ventures the industry had ever seen. Read it and you'll
never listen to music in the same way again.
