This reference work includes an examination of the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame's selection process, a review of the annual induction
ceremony, and provides career biographies of 149 Hall of Fame
inductees from the artists and producers to the record company
founders and deejays. It details the turbulent history of the
museum's choice of locale and the internal politics involved in the
induction process. The only work of its kind on the topic, this
reference provides valuable information for the scholar,
researcher, and rock enthusiast, and includes a comprehensive
listing of each year's inductees. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
much like the music it honors and promotes, had controversial
beginnings. Politics and contention continue to affect the inductee
selection process. Talevski provides an in-depth, chronological
study of the museum's history including a detailed summary of the
conception and rise of "rock and roll." This unique collection of
historical data and anecdotes surrounding the ceremonies provides
information unavailable elsewhere.
Rock and roll's various musical ingredients are examined, including
jazz, blues, country, folk and gospel. Also explored are rock's
early musical trends such as rockabilly, doo-wop, girl groups, surf
music, teen idols, R&B and soul. Additionally, rock and roll
was impacted by technological advances such as the transistor radio
and the 45rpm record, cultural and social movements, fast-talking
deejays, the emergence of the teenager, revolutionary dances such
as the Twist, payola, and the rise of independent record companies.
The book concludes with the arrival of the British Invasion.
