Krátky popis
Questlove collects the 500 songs that have changed not just popular
music, but also the worldQuestlove's Music Is History is an
in-depth look into the 500 most influential songs in the history of
music. Most famously known as a the drummer and joint frontman for
the Grammy Award-winning band The Roots, Questlove is also an
astute musicologist and voracious historian. In this book,
Questlove dives into musical history from every decade of twentieth
century, choosing one essential track from each year.The author
thoughtfully and insightfully unpacks each song's cultural
significance by placing it in its historical context, discussing
real world events that shaped both the song's creation and its
lasting impact. Analyses of iconic classics like ",Sir Duke", by
Stevie Wonder include tangents into the histories of science,
politics, and pop culture. Questlove moves fluidly from the
personal to the political, from Curtis Mayfield to the history of
Black representation in cinema to musings on the Nixon
presidency.Complete with comprehensive playlists organized around
personal, playful themes like ",Songs That Got Shafted", or ",Songs
With a Part I Really Like Even Though I Don't Like the Whole
Song,", this book is so full of Questlove's essential
recommendations that it feels like a conversation with the
industry's coolest music obsessive. Music Is History is a
masterclass in music by a contemporary icon-a new American musical
canon from one of music's most influential and unique voices.
