Summach, the Structure, Function, and Genesis of the Prechorus
Volume 17, Number 3, October 2011 Copyright © 2011 Society for Music Theory The Structure, Function, and Genesis of the Prechorus (1) Jay Summach NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.11.17.3/mto.11.17.3.summach.php KEYWORDS: popular music, rock music, form, prechorus, sentence, srdc ABSTRACT: Prechoruses emerged in the mid-1960s as verse-chorus and strophic forms converged upon a four-part formal disposition that Everett (1999) calls “statement, restatement, departure, and conclusion,” or srdc. This study traces the expansion of the srdc scheme from its compact deployment in strophes to expanded iterations that approximate verse- chorus form. Received February 2011 [1] This article examines an episode in the evolution of verse-chorus form in pop/rock music. Until the mid-1960s, most verse-chorus songs alternated between the two formal sections from which verse-chorus form takes its name: verses and choruses. Example 1, Mark Dinning’s “Teen Angel,” illustrates the form.(2) As is typical for verse-chorus songs, the focal point of “Teen Angel” is the chorus: it contains the most engaging musical material; its unchanging lyric makes it easy to remember; and it is marked for special attention by additional vocal and instrumental parts. The verses, on the other hand, provide context: each verse advances the song narrative by presenting fresh lyrics; and the music is more modest in instrumentation and intensity so as not to steal attention from the chorus. In “Teen Angel,” the tempo is treated flexibly during the verses, which further distinguishes them from the choruses.

The Twist”—Chubby Checker (1960) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay by Jim Dawson (Guest Post)*
“The Twist”—Chubby Checker (1960) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay by Jim Dawson (guest post)* Chubby Checker Chubby Checker’s “The Twist” has the distinction of being the only non-seasonal American recording that reached the top of “Billboard’s” pop charts twice, separately. (Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” topped the holiday tree in 1942, 1945, and 1947). “The Twist” shot to No. 1 in 1960, fell completely off the charts, then returned over a year later like a brand new single and did it all over again. Even more remarkable was that Checker’s version was a nearly note-for- note, commissioned mimicry of the original “The Twist,” written and recorded in 1958 by R&B artist Hank Ballard and released as the B-side of a love ballad. Most remarkable of all, however, is that Chubby Checker set the whole world Twisting, from Harlem clubs to the White House to Buckingham Palace, and beyond. The Twist’s movements were so rudimentary that almost everyone, regardless of their level of coordination, could maneuver through it, usually without injuring or embarrassing themselves. Like so many rhythm and blues songs, “The Twist” had a busy pedigree going back decades. In 1912, black songwriter Perry Bradford wrote “Messin’ Around,” in which he gave instructions to a new dance called the Mess Around: “Put your hands on your hips and bend your back; stand in one spot nice and tight; and twist around with all your might.” The following year, black tunesmiths Chris Smith and Jim Burris wrote “Ballin’ the Jack” for “The Darktown Follies of 1913” at Harlem’s Lafayette Theatre, in which they elaborated on the Mess Around by telling dancers, “Twist around and twist around with all your might.” The song started a Ballin’ the Jack craze that, like nearly every new Harlem dance, moved downtown to the white ballrooms and then shimmied and shook across the country.

Character Driven Productions LLC
Character Driven Productions LLC. The Wages of Spin chronicles the Philadelphia music scene from 1952-1963. The documentary is the first honest, comprehensive look at the Philadelphia music industry, centering on the creation, growth and popularity of Bandstand. It looks behind the curtain at the inner workings of the music industry in Philadelphia during this time period. The narrative is propelled principally through interviews and histories from the people who lived it, performers, dancers and those waiting in the wings. Created in Philadelphia by Triangle Productions, Bandstand was a radio program that was adapted for television. Originally hosted by Bob Horn the show captured the attention of the youth in the Delaware Valley. Horn’s career was short-lived, however. He soon ran into legal problems, including an arrest under the influence of alcohol as well as accusations of improper conduct with a teenager on the show. A young booth announcer, Dick Clark, was given command of the show that would influence teens, and the music industry for decades to come. The music industry was by no means a paragon of American business ethics. Underhanded practices, rife with conflicts of interest, were the standard for the day. Payola! As the dirty business of making hits and selling records went on everyone had their hands out. Clark emerged at a unique time in American cultural and economic history, saw an unprecedented opportunity and exploited it. Talent was a secondary consideration in the system of graft and legalized corruption that prevailed at the time. The Payola Hearings on Capitol Hill attempted to shed light on the shady dealings of the music industry.

TEDDY & the TWILIGHTS by Charlie Horner & Steve Applebaum
“Teddy & the Twilights” by Charlie Horner & Steve Applebaum Reprinted with permission from Echoes of the Past, Issue #96 (2011) TEDDY & THE TWILIGHTS by Charlie Horner & Steve Applebaum With Contributions from Pamela Horner Dedicated to the memory of Steve Applebaum Updated from 1977 article in Yesterday’s Memories In 1948 a young group from Baltimore pioneered a new sound in black music that would soon be called Rhythm & Blues. Throughout America’s inner cities, vocal groups sprang up on nearly every corner in response to Sonny Til and The Orioles. In Philadelphia one such group was led by Leonard “Lord Galley” Lewis, himself a native of Baltimore. Leonard was backed by John Odoms [also known as John Williams], Benjamin Hart, and someone remembered only as John. By 1950, the group was playing local clubs, but soon after, a death in his family called "Lord Galley" back to Baltimore. When he decided to remain in Baltimore, the group disbanded. They were not silent long. 1951 saw the rise of The Dominoes and the re-inspiration of black vocal groups every- where. John Odoms formed a new group, asking his younger step-brother, Larry Williams, to sing lead. The brothers grew up in South Philadelphia and attended Franklin High School. As a youngster, Larry remembered R&B groups appearing at the Lincoln Theater, at Broad and Lombard Streets. The new group became Larry Williams (lead), John Odoms (tenor), Wilbur Turner (baritone) and Ben Hart (bass). The group idolized and patterned themselves after The Dominoes, whom they'd seen several times at the old Earle Theater.
