Mary Mary - Somebody

Thus, it can be said that there is no general definition for popular music. From the historical view, popular music was any non folk form that gained incredible popularity. Popular music reflects the mutual enrichment of styles and it represents a combination of visions. The term popular music hides a wide range of musical endeavours and originates like other types of music for a long time. Popular music has a high spectrum from folk music through operetta to jazz or country and musicals on Broadway to current music. Kinds of popular music have their roots in social music and go back to film and pop in industrialized countries. Popular music features focus on entertainment, relaxation or dancing. Basically, all kinds of music have a clear purpose, and it means to entertain the listeners. Throughout history, a number of popular musical styles have evolved, growing gradually with time and with new artists. Popular music is one of those musical styles that mostly distributed commercially and the growing success of this music among listeners has attracted the attention of music publishers. The most important styles of popular music include, Jazz, Country and Western, Hip-Hop, Rap, Pop, Rhythm and Blues, and Rock and Roll.

The development of American popular music in particular was influenced by race, social status, culture, and gender. Not all artists were treated equally, some were not respected at all. However, the conditions for artists from different backgrounds were not the same... All in all, the range, depth, and quality of popular musical styles that have developed in the United States over its lifetime is truly amazing. These styles could not have arisen anywhere else, but are the unique products of the mixing of cultures, geography, technology, and sheer luck that helped disseminate each style.

Ian Brown - Home Is Where The Heart Is

Talking to artists about how they had adjusted to the pandemic yielded information that normally doesn’t come up during artist interviews. While some musicians lost their main source of income, others were able to continue with their regular day jobs that, given the generally low pay for gigs, often allowed them to be active in the blues. Others were forced to turn to webcasting. In Clarksdale, Lucious Spiller was one of the first to do these shows and was likely the most active, for a year he played every Wednesday night, on Thursday afternoons, a time amenable to Europeans, and on most Saturdays, about as often as he normally performed.
