Chart toppers : the great performers of popular music over the last 50 years

By Bob Burnning

Brunning, a teacher who has played bass with Fleetwood Mac, and Pickering, the author of children's books, provide an illustrated guide to selected popular music performers and groups from the 1960s to the 1990s, as well as in the genres of blues, heavy metal, jazz, reggae, rock, rap, rock 'n' roll, soul, and world music. Each artist is profiled in a one or two-page spread that details their early background, success, selected chart-topping albums in the US and UK, and if applicable, why their career ended or where they are now, with many color photos. Artists include the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Bee Gees, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, the Sex Pistols, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Hanson, Oasis, REM, Britney Spears, Boyzone, B.B. King, Aerosmith, Miles Davis, Bob Marley, Eminem, Chuck Berry, Elvis, and Diana Ross. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) TiltePeek
