Great Bands: Great Longevity
The only explanation of greatness and longevity in two important fields of music is fate
Over the past one hundred years, popular music has grown in range of styles as well as availability to a now global audience. In the early 1930s, solo vocalists such as Bing Crosby and Mildred Bailey come to prominence with jazz-influenced recordings, providing a new and suddenly popular entertainment to a quickly growing audience. Radio and phonographs were the new technology.
However, in reviewing the history of bands in Jazz and Rock, the greatest in each field enjoyed the greatest longevity. A remarkable piece of history. The determining factor has been the launch with a terrific hit combined with a long run of outstanding creativity and widespread recognition.
