✨ **Origins**: Pop music is a commercial and light variant of either Rock or R&B music, often crossing over to whatever genre sells the most. However, before Rock music, producers were already creating Pop music. The dominant source of Pop in the early 20th century was Tin Pan Alley: a musical neighborhood in New York near and for Broadway (thus aimed at musicals). Nearby was the famous Brill Building. When EP’s became more and more commonplace in the fifties and the first hit parade appeared (in 1952), this building turned into a giant busy hive, filled with countless recording studios. At first, Brill Building’s focus lay at creating music for the family, but that all changed in the late fifties. As a response to Rock ‘n’ Roll’s popularity, professional Pop producers crafted teen oriented hit songs. Charming male crooners in the fifties and hired girl groups in the sixties were meant to express an irresistible image of sexiness, turning their work into large profits. The first crooners appeared in the twenties and were named after their singing technique of gently moaning in the microphone. A large difference with (poorer) hollers or shouters in Blues who had to use all the volume their voices could produce, as they had no voice amplification. Brill Building Pop evolved from a more minimal singer/songwriter type of music (early Tin Pan Alley pop music) into a light version of Rock ‘n’ Roll written in 6/8 signature with Latin or exotic sounds, strings, children’s melodies and Rhythm ‘n’ Blues influences. The most famous producer of this era is undoubtedly Phil Spector, who helped reach many Girl Groups and Golden Age Rock bands achieve stardom with his “Wall of Sound” recording technique.
