We are what we listen to. That's the premise of this study of 100 songs that have shaped and defined the American experience, from the Colonial period to the present. Well-known music author James Perone looks at 100 songs that helped tell America's story. He examines why each song became a hit, what cultural and social values it embodies, what issues it touches upon, what audiences it attracted, and what made it such a definitive part of American history and popular culture. The chart-topping singles presented here crossed gender, age, race, and class lines to appeal to the mass American audience. The book discusses patriotic songs, minstrel music, and sacred songs and hymns as well as music in the broad categories of pop, rock, hip hop, jazz, country, and folk. An introduction provides an overview of the history and significant issues raised by the songs as a whole. Individual songs are then presented chronologically, based on when they were written. The revealing commentary for each "hit" is not only interesting and fun, but reveals what it was like to live in the United States at a particular time by unveiling the social, economic, and political issues—as well as the musical tastes—that made life what it was.

And the Hits Just Keep on Comin' spans twenty-two years of popular music history from 1955 through 1976. It is a fusion of definitive statistics and commentary from Pete Berry, a radio personality also known as "The Flying Dutchman." Complementing the text, a detailed discography of the leading artists and their greatest hits, their million sellers, and their gold and platinum albums makes this volume a musical "world book of records." Berry opens with Bill Haley's famous "rimshot" that rocked the world in the mid-fifties, then works his way into the mid-seventies, an age whose idiosyncrasies have given birth to the widest variety of musical tastes in history. Each chapter is a graphic look at an individual year of American musical taste—each fifty two week interval unravels its own story. To simplify the statistics, Pete Berry presents annual charts of the top fifty songs, the week-by-week number-one songs, the most significant artists, and the Grammy and Oscar winners. He supplies facts that the average record buyer or collector previously has been unable to obtain except at great expense or through extensive research. Berry's sources include his own year-by-year records which, as a professional disc jockey, he has kept for the last twenty-two years, information supplied by such organizations as the Recording Industry Association of America, and data gleaned from record companies. An illustration section includes many of the most famous performers and groups. And the Hits Just Keep on Comin' will undoubtedly become an invaluable tool for the settlements of wagers as to the who, when, and where of popular music, and more than likely it will bring memories that are forever frozen in the lyrics and harmonies of the popular song.

America's Songs tells the stories behind the most beloved popular songs of the last century. We all have songs that have a special meaning in our lives; hearing them evokes a special time or place. Little wonder that these special songs have become enduring classics. Nothing brings the roarin '20s to life like Tea for Two or I'm just Wild About Harry; the Great Depression is evoked in all of its pain and misery in songs like Brother Can You Spare a Dime?; God Bless America revives the powerful hope that American democracy promised to the world during the dark days of World War II; Young at Heart evokes the postwar optimism of the '50s. And then there are the countless songs of love, new romance, and heartbreak: As Time Goes By, Always, Am I Blue...the list is endless. Along with telling the stories behind these songs, America's Songs suggests, simply and succinctly, what makes a song great. The book illuminates the way each great song melds words and music - sentiment and melody - into a seamless whole. America's Songs also traces the fascinating but mysterious process of collaboration, the give-and-take between two craftsmen, a composer and a lyricist, as they combined their talents to create a song. For anyone interested in the history of the songs that America loves, America's Songs will make for fascinating reading.
