Since its launch in 1926, Britain's Melody Maker has encouraged the progression and evolution of musical styles, genres, and artists; it has also been a pioneer in the fight for racial and sexual equality within the industry. In doing so, it has played a seminal role in the history of music. Melody Maker History of 20th-Century Popular Music traces that history through the paper's pages. It relates the story of music as it was told at the time, without benefit of hindsight, rather than as it was remembered. Covering the entire range of musical styles that has emerged this century, it offers a cultural, racial, and social portrait of a constantly evolving society.
