INDEX

`HISTORY HAS TO BEGIN SOMEWHERE AND THE HISTORY OF ROCK `N` ROLL BEGAN WITH THIS FINE BOOK. IT WILL BE READ FOR AS LONG AS PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN THE SUBJECT.`
-JON LANDAU, THE PHOENIX

`... because of the light it throws on American (and English) culture, because of the details it offers on such diverse musical styles as blues, soul, gospel, rock and literally dozens of others, and because of the way it illuminates the development of such singers as Elvis Presley, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke, the Beatles, and Bob Dylan, to name but a handful-The Sound of the City is an extraordinary example of how a writer`s passionate interest can illuminate a subject all too rarely treated well in a book.`
-Christopher Lehman-Haupt, The New York Times

`It`s really difficult to convey the breadth of this book.... You`ll find some things to argue with, but you`ll also find lots of information, some keen insights, and a fine discussion of the record industry, as well as of the music itself. Take your time, and have fun.`
-John Morthland, Rolling Stone

`The Sound of the City manages to be both enthu-siastic and exact. It is the best history of rock yet published.`
-Time

`...the most ambitious historical survey so far of the many intersecting changes in American popular music (and British as well) during the past 30 years.`
-Nat Hentoff, Playboy

For this edition of The Sound of the City, the author has carefully re-checked all of his factual material and has added notes and made corrections where necessary. He has also enlarged and updated the helpful bibliography and discography.
