The Golden Age of Easy Listening

Derek Taylor comprehensively details the easy listening story, from an unlikely beginning with an American army general through to its subsummation into the 21st century mainstream popular music. Described and put into context are the historical giants and innovators of easy listening music, from Paul Weston, Mantovani, Percy Faith, Ray Connif, Serge Gainsboug, Bert Kaempfert, Acker Bilk, Herb Albert and Sergio Mendes to James Last and a host of others. These easy listening giants came from all around the world, bringing a revitalising mix of styles and forms to the music that is being rediscovered and enjoyed as much by the streaming generation of today as it was by the generation of 78 RPM shellac and high-fidelity vinyl of its golden era.
