By: Smith, Kaelyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The birth of the recording industry revolutionized the role of music in popular culture and the role of the musician. With mass distribution of albums and increased accessability to artists and styles, innovation became a requisite quality for lasting success. The twenty artists covered in this book led the way in technique, style, composition, performance and many other aspects of music. They exerted profound influence on both their contemporaries and later musicians and still retain a significant role in music culture and listenership.
