The explosion of British bands onto the American rock scene in the 1960s is examined in this thorough history. Marking the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' first trip to the United States, this look at British rock music covers in detail the pre-Beatles music that first gave Americans a taste of the British style, Beatlemania, and the British acts that followed their lead, including the Rolling Stones, the Who, and the Kinks. This account includes in-depth interviews with key figures and fully updated information on this dynamic time in American pop music. Previously unseen photographs and reproduced newspaper front pages provide a visual history of that music explosion.

Thanks for this. "The British Invasion" was an American term. We never used that term in Australia.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob, I was unaware of that, although it may be logical in a country with more British influence than in the USA.
DeleteRegards
I still love the British Invasion era music. I had just turned 12 when the Beatles hit big in America with I Want To Hold Your Hand.
ReplyDeletePues en cierto modo, las bandas inglesas tomaron el blues y el rhythm and blues, lo resignificaron al pop y rock, y eso fue lo que volvió a USA.
Deletesorry, don't understand
DeleteWell, in a way, the English bands took the blues and rhythm and blues, re-signified it to pop and rock, and that's what came back to the USA.
