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)

Kenneth More continues the history of popular music from the beginning of the 20th century with the help of: SIR EDWARD LEWIS, Chairman of Decca, GODDARD LIEBERSON, President of Columbia Records, GEORGE MAREK, Head of RCA Records, ARTHUR HADDY, Chief Engineer, Decca Records, JOHN HAMMOND and DR PETER GOLDMARK
