Question 1

Which of the following statements describe the American popular-music business in the first half of the 20th century? Mainstream pop singers mostly wrote their own music. Individual recordings of songs were thought to be more important than the songs themselves. Sheet music was not an important element in pop music. The overall popular music market was divided into music for middle-class white consumers, music for urban black consumers, and music for rural or recently rural white consumers.

While the intended audience for these stations was _________________, it turned out that _________________ were also tuning in. rhythm & blues, urban blacks, white teens rhythm & blues, rural whites, white teens rhythm & blues, rural whites, black teens country & western, urban blacks, white teens

Question 3
Which statement describes the development of youth culture in the US during the 1950s? Music played a minimal role in the development of youth culture during the 1950s. In many ways, the idea of the teenager was invented in the 1950s, coming to designate a period between childhood and adulthood. Listening to rhythm & blues was something youngsters liked to do with their parents, often as a part of a family evenings entertainment. An overwhelming majority of young people in high school eagerly adopted the culture of their parents and grandparents, hoping to be accepted as adults.

Question 4
Which of the following statements describe Elviss career in the 1950s?

While many other singers of the time were song stylists, Elvis was different because he wrote all his own songs. After initially recording for a regional independent label, Elvis signed with RCA an event that surprised many inside the music business. Since Elvis grew up in the northeast, it was difficult for him to relate to fans in the south. In the early years of his career, Elvis was seen by most adults as a positive influence on American teenagers.

Question 5
Which statements describe the developing role of the producer during the early 1960s as discussed in the video? Leiber and Stoller were important in shifting the focus of recording from taking a snapshot in sound to creating sounds that might sound different from anything that could be created purely acoustically. Girl group records provide a number of good examples of the surf music. Leiber and Stoller, Carole King, and Phil Spector each developed their approaches independently, with no awareness of one anothers work. Phil Spector developed the Wall of Mono, which seemed like the biggest sound one could get in stereo and became his trademark.

Question 6
Which of the following statements describe the folk revival of the early 1960s as discussed in the video? Bob Dylan was known not only as a songwriter in the early 1960s, but also as a performer who had several hit singles. The Kingston Trio were an important group in the folk revival, enjoying several hit singles. Since folk singers from earlier years had often taken political stances, many acts in the folk revival eagerly addressed contemporary political issues right from the start. The Greenwich Village folk scene in Philadelphia played an important role in the folk revival.

Question 7
Which of the following statements describe the early career of the Beatles as discussed in the video?

The Beatles developed their musical skills playing long hours in the German city of Berlin. The Beatles success in the US took the American music business by surprise, since very few British artists had been able to have success in the US before them. Even after the Beatles performance on the Ed Sullivan show in February 1964, the Beatles had to work to achieve break-through success in the US. The Beatles success in 1966 helped change the UK pop market, which for the first time had more UK artists at the top of the charts than Americans.

Question 8
Which of the following statements describe the career of the Rolling Stones as discussed in the video? Embarrassed by claims that the lyrics to Satisfaction were sexual, the band immediately apologized and re-recorded the tune. Unlike the Yardbirds, the early Rolling Stones were not much influenced by Chicago blues. The Stones played the role of bad boys in contrast to the Beatles good boy image. Like the Beatles, the Stones had overwhelming success in the US in 1964.

Question 9
Which of the following statements describe Bob Dylans career as discussed in the video? Disturbed by the reaction to his music using electric guitars and drums, Dylan backed off and returned to his previous approach of guitar, voice, and harmonica. As his songwriting developed in the 1960s, Dylans songs were increasingly devoted to traditional social and political issues, becoming less personal, and thus turning the me to a we. Dylans appearance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival created a scandal. After his motorcycle accident of 1966, Dylan immediately returned to performing.

Question 12
Which of the following statements does not reflect the discussion of Motown in the video? Berry Gordy pursued a crossover audience for Motown records. Motown employed a studio band and several songwriters and producers. Most Motown performing artists of the 1960s wrote and produced their own music. Motown performers were required to attend choreography and etiquette sessions.

Question 13
Which of the following statements does not reflect the discussion of Stax and southern soul in the video? Atlantic Records, and Jerry Wexler especially, played an important role in developing the southern soul style. Like Motown, Stax also had a studio band and songwriters/producers. Almost all southern soul was recorded in the Stax studio in Memphis. Stax and southern soul in general made less of an attempt to temper markedly black musical elements to accommodate white audiences.

Question 14

Which of the following statements reflect the discussion of James Brown in the video? While Berry Gordy was softening the elements of black culture in the music and performance of Motown artists, James Brown was having crossover success with a very different approach. James Browns music and performance styles are often seen as making several concessions to white sensibilities. During the period after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Brown refused to perform, fearing his performances could stir up riots. James Browns music relies heavily on melody and harmony, relegating rhythm to a minor role.

Question 17
Which of the following statements describe to development of musical ambition as discussed in the video?

Most psychedelic bands and artists in the late 1960s abandoned any attempt to expand rocks stylistic boundaries, looking instead to return rock to short songs with romantic lyrics. The hippie aesthetic refers mostly to the unconventional clothes and hairstyles sported by young people in the late 1960s.

An increased seriousness in rock during the late 1960s can be seen in lyrics, use of classical and jazz influences, increased virtuosity, and the use of new recording and synthesizer technologies.
