520 a| Popular music is one of the most sensitive indicators of the state of popular culture. It is a mixture of business, technology, and mass media with the values and concerns of the record-buying, concert-going public. Popular music is not just entertainment, but an image of the American dream. This book is as much about culture as it is about music. In her look at the female singer from the days of the hit parade to the present, author Aida Pavletich profiles the stars and tyles of every genre from folk to funk, from bubble gum to blues. She also analyzes the cultural and political influences on their work, and their own considerable impact on modern sensibilities. What emerges is a portrait of women adored and abused, publically placed on a pedestal, and - too often - privately pushed around. In this book there are perceptive observations of such different women as Joan Baez, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and others, revealing how they have dealt with the pressures of stardom and found their voices as individuals. Some, like Janis Joplin and Cass Elliot, found the conflicting tensions too much to handle; others like Helen Reddy, Aretha Franklin, and Carole King succeeded in expressing passion, pleasure, and pain for millions of people. Symbolic because of their vast audience, they are no less human; fan and feminist alike will find this book an enlightening and fascinating tour of pop culture.;

Abstract	Popular music is one of the most sensitive indicators of the state of popular culture. It is a mixture of business, technology, and mass media with the values and concerns of the record-buying, concert-going public. Popular music is not just entertainment, but an image of the American dream. This book is as much about culture as it is about music. In her look at the female singer from the days of the hit parade to the present, author Aida Pavletich profiles the stars and tyles of every genre from folk to funk, from bubble gum to blues. She also analyzes the cultural and political influences on their work, and their own considerable impact on modern sensibilities. What emerges is a portrait of women adored and abused, publically placed on a pedestal, and - too often - privately pushed around. In this book there are perceptive observations of such different women as Joan Baez, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and others, revealing how they have dealt with the pressures of stardom and found their voices as individuals. Some, like Janis Joplin and Cass Elliot, found the conflicting tensions too much to handle; others like Helen Reddy, Aretha Franklin, and Carole King succeeded in expressing passion, pleasure, and pain for millions of people. Symbolic because of their vast audience, they are no less human; fan and feminist alike will find this book an enlightening and fascinating tour of pop culture.
