Anatomy of 55 hit songs : the top singles that changed rock, R&B and soul
Myers, Marc, 1956-2023
Books
Songs that sell the most copies become hits, but some of those hits become something more - iconic recordings that not only inspire a generation but also alter the direction of music. In this follow-up to his classic 'Anatomy of a Song', Marc Myers tells the stories behind 55 more rock, pop, R&B, country and reggae hits through intimate interviews with the artists who wrote and recorded them. Part oral history, part musical analysis, 'Anatomy of 55 Hit Songs' ranges from Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Bad Moon Rising' to Dionne Warwick's 'Walk On By', The Beach Boys' 'Good Vibrations' and Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid'.
