Document Summary
Despite beatlemania and the invasion of british groups, american pop acts continued to have success in the 60s including the phil spector, beach boys, etc. New musical styles in american pop emerged as a response, folk rock being one of the most obvious responses. Folk rock took the strumming and singing style of folk with added beatles like electric guitars, bass, drums, keyboards. New music after 1964 moved to los angeles, the hollywood-based television industry was getting started. The monkees: direct answer to the beatles. 1960 bob dylan came from minnesota to new york"s greenwich village. Skilled performer and songwriter- inspirations from his idol woody guthrie. Folk music tended to rework familiar music with new lyrics and talk about social injustice. Dylan began to talk about he"s feelings through song lyrics instead. 1965 dylan started controversy within the folk industry when he started using more electric instruments. Many felt he had sold out to pop.
