Buddy Holly

Buddy Holly

With his signature vocal hiccup and hits like "That'll Be the Day," "Rave On," "Peggy Sue" and "Not Fade Away," Buddy Holly was a rock & roll pioneer, as well as one of the genre's first great singer-songwriters. He used the recording studio for doubletracking and other advanced techniques, and popularized the two guitars, bass, and drums lineup. Holly's playful, mock-ingenuous singing, with slides between falsetto and regular voice, was a major influence on Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, and numerous imitators. When he died in an airplane crash at 22, he had been recording for less than two years.

British Rhythm & Blues

British Rhythm & Blues

The origins of the British Rhythm & Blues were in the jazz, skiffle and folk movements of the 1950s. Chris Barber was one its early figures helping establish the Marquee Club, the key venue for British R&B bands. The 1958 visit of Muddy Waters influenced Blues Incorporated, with other bands emerging including the Animals from Newcastle, the Spencer Davies Group and the Yardbirds from London. British RnB had a harder edge born of black American blues with a gritty, syncopated sound and guitar-heavy mix.

The Festival Years 1967-68

The Festival Years 1967-68

The Monterey Pop Festival was organised in just seven weeks by producer, Lou Adler, with John Phillips from the Mamas and the Papas. And it's really the first time such a large music event is put on. It's part of the 1967 Summer of Love, the culmination of this counter-culture movement, the hippy child ideal. And it really becomes a kind of turning point for the music industry in terms of these big live events.

The British Invasion

The British Invasion

The British Invasion was massive. America, for a brief period, and one that really hasn't been repeated, went crazy for all things British. It was youthful excitement, Swinging Sixties, and it was through the music that you got the access. The incredible success of the Beatles led to record companies encouraging more of the same. They wanted to emulate that success with more British bands crossing over the Atlantic and having that huge impression on the culture there. A lot of these British bands came from post-war austerity. America looked so glamorous. It wasn't just that the sun of California and the bustle of New York… it was a really successful open place where they felt like anybody could succeed. And because America wanted them to succeed, everybody was a winner.
