Old Rock-'n-'Rollers Get 'Truth in Music' Boost | |
By Ted Landphair 22 March 2006 |
You may have heard the term "truth in advertising," whose concept is pretty simple: When you describe your product or service, tell the truth!
Well now, folks around the country are starting to talk about "truth in music." There are even laws by that name in three states -- with more expected.
So what's "truth in music"?
The explanation begins in the 1950s, in the early days of doo-wop and rock, with finger-snapping groups like the Drifters, who sang "Up on the Roof"; the Coasters, remembered for "Yakety-Yak (Don't Talk Back)" and Sha Na Na, who sang a pensive song about "Romeo and Juliet."
The British musical invasion put most of these early groups out of business, and many of the musicians faded away with little if any money to their names. Now their sound is back in vogue, especially in television commercials and nostalgic concerts.
The Truth in Music laws prohibit that practice and give surviving members of the old groups a better chance to get gigs for themselves, or, as the Silhouettes put it, to "Get a Job!" ![]() 下载地址
