The Year the Music Died

The Year the Music Died (which was 1972) is packed with information, stories, trivia, and photos relating to the "golden era" of pop music between 1964 and 1972. Author Dwight Rounds covers the Beatles and their music in depth, including a separate chapter devoted to John Lennon. Subsequent chapters covering the Rolling Stones, Byrds, Doors and CSNY, are followed by sections on all the other influential groups of the era. Rounds also discusses the major music festivals of the time (Monterey Pop, Woodstock, and the Isle of Wight), followed by history and commentary of the social movements of the time
