Sinossi
“The only history of pop music you’ll ever have to read.”— Huffington Post Let legendary rock manager Simon Napier-Bell take you inside the (dodgy) world of popular music – not just a creative industry, but a business that has made people rich beyond their wildest dreams. This book describes the evolution of the music industry from 1713 – the year parliament granted writers ownership over what they wrote – to today, when a global, 100 billion pound industry is controlled by just three major players: Sony, Universal and Warner. Inside you will uncover some little-known facts about the industry, including: how a formula for writing hit songs 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 created a template for all popular music that followed; and how rock tours became the biggest, quickest, sleaziest and most profitable ventures the music industry has ever seen. Through it all, Napier-Bell 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.

Paperback. Condizione: New. After rejecting the offer to swap 'swinging London for a songwriters' Alcatraz' at New York's Brill Building in 1966, Simon Napier-Bell was left with a profound sense of songwriting as a business as much as a creative endeavour - something that endured throughout his fifty-year career. In this volume he presents an account of the industry's evolution, from the 18th-century copyright laws that made publishing sheet music profitable to today's streaming services. .
