As a guitarist, A & R man, engineer, producer, songwriting partner of Otis Redding, Eddie Floyd and a dozen others and founding member of both Booker T. and the MG’s and The Mar-Keys, Cropper was literally involved in virtually every record issued by Stax from the fall of 1961 through year end 1970.Such credits assure Cropper of an honored place in the soul music hall of fame. As co-writer of (Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay, Knock On Wood and In The Midnight Hour, Cropper is in line for immortality. Born on October 21, 1941 on a farm near Dora, Missouri, Steve Cropper moved with his family to Memphis at the age of nine. In Missouri he had been exposed to a wealth of country music and little else. In his adopted home, his thirsty ears amply drank of the fountain of Gospel, R & B and nascent Rock and Roll that thundered over the airwaves of both black and white Memphis radio. Bit by the music bug, Cropper acquired his first mail order guitar at the age of 14. Personal guitar heroes included Tal Farlow, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed, Chet Atkins, Lowman Pauling of the Five Royales and Billy Butler of the Bill Doggett band.

Blues music went on to become the basic DNA for jazz, R&B, rock and roll, rap and most every manner of modern music.

    Empirical Musicology Review Vol. 10, No. 3, 2015 “The Times They Were A-Changin’”: A Database-Driven Approach to the Evolution of Harmonic Syntax in Popular Music from the 1960s HUBERT LÉVEILLÉ GAUVIN [1] Schulich School of Music, McGill University ABSTRACT: The goal of this research is to investigate the pitch structures of popular music in the 1960s through a large corpus study in order to identify any consistent changes in harmonic and tonal syntax. More specifically, two studies based on the Billboard DataSet (Burgoyne, Wild & Fujinaga, 2011; Burgoyne, 2011), a new corpus presenting transcriptions for more than 700 songs, are presented. The first study looks at the incidence of multi-tonic songs throughout the decade, while the second study focuses on the incidence of flat-side harmonies (e.g. bIII, bVI, and bVII) over the same period of time. While no difference was observed in the frequency of multi-tonic songs, the study showed a significant increase in the incidence of flat-side harmonies during the second half of the decade. Submitted 2014 September 16; accepted 2015 April 9. KEYWORDS: popular music, corpus, Billboard, harmony, modulation IN January 1964 Bob Dylan released “The Times They Are A-Changin,” a politically-charged protest song encouraging changes in American society. Indeed the 1960s were a time of great political, but also sociological and cultural changes, accompanied by equally important developments in popular music. Many music scholars have addressed the attitudinal shift associated with this period, noting that “[r]ock musicians no longer aspire[d] so much to be professionals and craftspeople” but “artists” (Covach, 2006, p.

  • The Harmonic Language of the Beatles
    The Harmonic Language of the Beatles KG Johansson Luleå University of Technology; School of Music in Piteå [1] Introduction What kind of knowledge makes it possible to play a song by ear? How can a musician play a song that he or she has never played before, and maybe never even heard before? What happens in the moment of playing? These questions, delimited to harmony and to the field of rock music, will be addressed in a study consisting of two parts: a) a description of rock harmony, and b) an interview study with rock musicians.The description of rock harmony in itself consists of two parts: this study of Beatles harmony, and a later study of rock harmony in the 1990s. From literature about rock harmony, my primary sources have been Allan Moore’s Rock: The Primary Text (1993), Richard Middleton’s Studying Popular Music (1990) and Lars Lilliestam’s Gehörsmusik (1995), and Svensk rock. Musik, lyrik, historik (1998). Moore (1993) divides rock harmony into “open-ended repetitive patterns” and, citing Ar- nold Schoenberg, different pairings of harmonic phrases: open-closed, open-open, and closed-closed—a closed phrase being one that ends on the tonic. Middleton (1990), in the chapter “Change gonna come?” Popular music and musicology” (pp. 123–26) treats methods for musicological analysis of popular music. Lilliestam (1995) submits a catalogue over com- mon chord progressions in rock music (pp. 195–200), while his Svensk rock (1998) has a section about modality in rock. Among the vast literature on the Beatles, I’ve mainly used Wilfrid Mellers’s Twilight Of The Gods (1973); Ian MacDonald’s En revolution i huvudet: The Beatles inspelningar och 1960-talet (1994; original title Revolution in the Head); Terence O’Grady’s The Beatles: A Musical Evolu- tion (1983); and finally Allan Moore’s Sgt.
