It organized and rationalized an embryonic music industry for the mutual benefit of these who did the organizing. Tin Pan Alley brought to popular music a collective sense of purpose. Songs were no longer the creative prerogative of a few gifted composers. They could be written to order in ten minutes for all combinations of instruments and voices. Its organization included pluggers copyists demonstrators and arrangers. Songs were written by committee by number and by role. There was product and the greater the product the greater the profit.

Volume 4 addresses one of the most popular and enduring musical genres The Blues. This episode features BB King Leadbelly and Billy Holliday. Blues is a word you have to think about before it can be understood. Contrary to popular belief blues as a form of music does not appear until 1910 or so that is after ragtime and jazz. Blues is not therefore the cornerstone of popular music. Rather it has become an emotional response through music to a variety of oppressive social conditions. The Episode begins in the Delta of Mississippi and follow the progress of itinerant blues musicians to the steel mills and automobile factories of Chicago; from harmonica and fiddle to electric guitar and fashionable nightclub. Finally the Episode shows how blues phrases and harmonies were stolen by white rock n rollers in need of a new gimmick.

For most of its history popular music has rarely been that which most people like. Jazz for instance has always been a minority interest. But in the era which was dominated by swing the music and its popularity were equally matched. White musicians became bored with the asinine popular music they were expected to play music pumped out by Tin Pan Alley and tried to emulate the style and freedom of their black counterparts. Most of them were too intelligent as musicians to indulge in mere imitation. What they created was the first white music based on black music which was not stolen from black music.

From operetta vaudeville variety burlesque revue and most importantly British music hall came the musical. But it did not come about by accident. It was the deliberate and conscious achievement of lyricist Oscar Hammerstein (who wrote among others Showboat and Oklahoma) and the director Rouben Mamoulian. Against considerable opposition both critical and commercial they created a new art form which was unique and yet familiar.

Volume five tackles the subject of Vaudeville and its very English equivalent Music Hall. Music Hall as a description means exactly what it says. A hall usually at the back of a tavern or pub in which music was performed by local entertainers for financial gain. It is thus the earliest example of a popular music industry. In a sense through all its manifestations music hall or vaudeville or variety has remained true to this original description. Thus the film begins and ends in Las Vegas (with Judy Garland) a palace of varieties to end all palaces of variety. En route we travel via Londons Palace Theatre the Palladium and the Windmill.

The full series of films was released in 2008 to great critical and commercial acclaim. In this episode we turn our attention to Rhythm and Blues. In the late forties white record companies labelled commercial black music race music. Eventually Jerry Wexler then working at Billboard magazine as a reporter thought of the phrase rhythm and blues and it caught on. Before long numerous other descriptions appeared - Motown the Philadelphia Sound Soul - but all had in common that the music expressed the rising aspirations of the ghetto. Meanwhile a curious imitation of black gospel appeared called white gospel - and among those who loved the sound were two remarkable men; one a record producer Sam Phillips who wanted to create a sound which had the discipline of white gospel but with the abandon of black rhythm and blues; the other was Elvis Presley. This volume of the highly regarded series of films includes interviews and performances with the artists Ike and Tina Turner Wilson Pickett and Stevie Wonder. Record producer Jerry Wexler is also interviewed.

Country music was originally home-made music. It described the births marriages and deaths that happened in every community. It celebrated love just as it bemoaned the ill-fortune that came to every man. It was music with which all felt they could identify. As such it occupied a unique place in white culture. The music was not manufactured as in Tin Pan Alley nor sophisticated and this episode describes the process by which this change came about. Finally we will be backstage at the Grand Ole Opry during one of its regular nationwide broadcasts with a blessing to finish from Grand Ole Gospel Time. This episode includes performances from the likes of; Jimmie Rodgers Roy Acuff Doug Kershaw and Minnie Pearl. There are also interviews with Ernest Tubb Roy Rogers and Tex Ritter.
