		Popular music entered an era of "all hits" as numerous singers released recordings, beginning in the 1950s, as 45-rpm "singles" (with another on the flip side), and radio stations tended to play only the most popular of the wide variety of records being made.

	Salsa music Summary
		Salsa music is traditionally based on a 4/4 time signature, and is mostly phrased in groups of two bars (eight beats), such as recurring rhythmic patterns and main phrases of the chorus.
		Music author Isabelle Leymarie notes that salsa performers often incorporate machoistic bravado (guapería) in their lyrics, in a manner reminiscent of calypso and samba, a theme she ascribes to the performers' "humble backgrounds" and subsequent need to compensate for their origins.
		In the 1930s, '40s and '50s, Cuban music within Cuba was evolving into new styles derived primarily from son and rumba, while the Cubans in New York, living among many Latinos from Puerto Rico and elsewhere, began playing their own distinctive styles, influenced most importantly by African American music.

		Music furthers the hidden agenda of shaping a modern peoplehood by giving lyric identity both on the level of musical syntax and through the verbal language chosen to be sung.
		The result is music that demonstrates with high clarity the effect of musical timbre on the listener--an effect that is often muted and difficult to examine when timbral variation is limited by the potential of acoustic instruments.

		As the vocal-laden, hiss-heavy vinyl records of the 1960s gave way to 1970s-era stadium rock and, ultimately, to the digitally mastered drum and bass grooves of hip hop, DuBois’s average chords moved from haunting choral textures to noisy chunks of sound.
		By the time computer music entered the scene in the late 1950s, the fundamental elements of modern electronic music were all in place.
		Mills-Cockell adds that our perception of music in general is being subtly altered by the fact that much of what we hear in clubs and on film and television soundtracks is generated by computers, rather than by human beings playing acoustic instruments.

		One of the problems is that, although "America" is taken the world over to refer to the United States, the word is also commonly used inclusively to mean the North (but not usually the South) American Continent.

		Songwriter, singer, and producer Leon Ware is one of the less-recognized products of the Motown Records music factory of the 1960s and '70s, primarily because he has tended to work behind the scenes despite recording a series of albums under his own name.

		Growing up as an aspiring musical artist in Detroit, Ware naturally became part of Motown Records, which was founded in the city as he approached manhood.
