From the mid-50s until the mid-60s, AM radio underwent radical changes in what was played. Early on, different genres of music were strictly limited to what demographic a station was aiming for. This resulted in the broadcasting of R&B to an exclusive African American audience, country music to a rural listener, and pop music was usually relegated to “block programming.” But that began to change in the 50s and 60s. This two-part lecture will explore the reluctance of any genre to actually “crossover” to another as well as the societal changes and tastes of the public that ultimately led to change. We will listen to the hits that changed American music forever!
