The story of 60 years of popular music. A 26-week series.
'I remember the first non-classical album turned out to be South Pacific; and that helped more than the entire classical library to launch the LP. Financially the impact and the success of the LP is almost exclusively from popular music.' (Dr Peter Goldmark, inventor of the LP)
