The birth of Rock and Roll
Young people born during WWII who grew up in the 1950s were called the War Babies or bobby soxxers. A small generation, these kids were older teens in the late 50s when rock and roll first became prominent; as young adults, they missed the drugs, the long hair, and for many, even missed Vietnam which came later. Their numbers are quickly falling off since they're now in their late 70s or early 80s.
Video Essay
Familiar pop music makes them hits. Starting in the late 1950s, radio changed from half-hour dramas like "Suspense" to Top 40 radio with deejays playing pop music-- appealed mostly to young people and later 1960s boomers; radio continued then unchanged with each subsequent generation; What made the AM radio station hits were record sales and stations played them and often introduced them to their listeners. They played the songs over and over and have been known for short playlists of about 40-50 songs, rotating over and over, sometimes peppered with oldies from the few previous years.
Single artists, boy bands, girl bands sought to break into national attention through radio. More recently, Justin Bieber became one of the biggest and like many, this Canadian became a teen idol.

1960s Boomer Music
Baby boomers were born starting in 1946 after American soldiers returned from World War II. As children they listened from the back seat to their parents music on the radio--Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, the Ames Brothers and then early Elvis and Be-Bop early Rock. Boomers were the Children of television and they rebelled from the stifling 1950s by the early 60s. Even that decade, music changed from a more mature rock sound from the Beach Boys and Beatles to the influence of drug use in music and society. (Photo on right from Facebook's "America in the 1960s")

Kent State goes Pop
Ohio- by Crosby Stills, Nash and Young is put to Vietnam war video after four students were killed by accidental fire during a protest at Kent State University in 1970. This song became an anthem to mark the 1960s and 70s student protests against the Vietnam War---which resulted in 50,000 American dead soldiers, countless wounded, and after almost ten years, the military pulled out in 1973, handing the small Southeast Asian nation back to the Communists.

Judges included Simon Cowel, a witty personality contestants tried hard to please on this show which has run, and been copied, for decades.
Some corporations who are exclusively focused on money, and even some artists are so tight with their music, they forget who made them famous. Do you think artists like Streisand and a VERY few others, after fans made them incredibly wealthy, refuse to give out a few historic freebees as their careers are sunsetting??

Motown and Soul Music
Music aficionados are quick to say that African American pop music, even blues, had a prominent affect on so called 'white pop music.' Yet until the 1970s, most white radio stations played few but the most popular crossover hits. Black owned and formatted stations hosted the ears of most black teens up until deep into the 1970. Interestingly black boomer teens bought the most 45 RPM singles records until white people 'discovered' the talent of musicians and black songwriters. Here are a series of uniquely black music, much of which was from Detroit's "Motown" sound that grew first in the 1950s through 1980s. Rolling Stone's Motown List (100 Greatest Songs.)

Live performance of this pop orchestral hit
The nation's largest generation never really accepted the Pop crooner ballads of their parents but Rock and Roll changed everything with strong guitars and drums, some deafeningly so that replaced lyrical songs with orchestral and vocal backgrounds. As they grew older, boomer tastes split with variations to include blues, rap, they became fans of the music variations--some called Heavy Metal
from groups like California's Grateful Dead that had its own loyal cult concert following for the rest of the Twentieth Century.
Boomer children--the Gen-X, Y, and Millennials who were born after the mid 70s knew and listened to the wider musical varieties from their parents generation.
Stations began playing subsets of these with formats and tempos of their own. Some were called Underground, or Adult Contemorary stations targetting broader age groups, like 25 to 34 or even up to 49 by mixing 'oldies' with various forms of protest lyrics. In the early 2000s, record companies began selling downloaded internet music and they depended less on radio station introducing new music to showcase their stables of recording artists. Pop stations played it safe with familiar repetition but new music and artists gained popularity instead from Music videos found on MTV, YouTube, BET and other channels.

Its influence on jazz, gospel music, theater music, rock, soul, hip-hop, and almost every form of popular music since the 1920s has been enormous.
