The music of the 1980s left an indelible mark on pop culture.
Thanks to the dawn of MTV and the increasing affordability of
synthesizers, a generation of innovative artists took the world by storm
to create one of the last great glory eras of pop music.
To get
to the heart of what made this decade so special, music journalist Jim
Beviglia weaves a narrative of the stories behind the pop music
phenomenon. Playing Back the 80s: A Decade of Unstoppable Hits features
original interviews with more than sixty artists, producers, session
players, writers, and others who were directly involved with the most
memorable songs of the decade. Among those who appear in Playing Back
the 80s are iconic artists like Huey Lewis, Rick Springfield, Kim
Carnes, Vernon Reid, Dennis DeYoung, Colin Hay, and Eddie Money telling
the stories of how they created, often against imposing odds and in the
midst of bizarre circumstances, the unstoppable hits and unheralded gems
that still enchant so many fans today.
Playing Back the 80s will
have music fans pulling their old cassettes out of storage and
remembering when and where they heard the songs first. For those who
didn’t grow up in the 80s, this endlessly fun book will show them what
the fuss was all about and maybe reveal a few surprises along the way.
