Summary
"Echoes of the 1960s, still resound: over the airwaves and at oldies concerts, in motion pictures, in TV films and commercials - and in this book, which focuses on twelve bands and artists whose music helped define popular culture during those years." "Echoes of the Sixties includes portraits of the post-1960s lives of 43 unique individuals, drawn from in-depth interviews with the musicians themselves; descriptions of the musical, social, and historical context within which the artists achieved their successes; unique then-and-now photos of every artist; and "From the Time Capsule" charts highlighting memorable events from months in which each group released a hit record."--Jacket.
