Don't Stop the Music: A Year of Pop History, One Day at a Time
by Justin Lewis
'The deliciously simple conceit - pop facts from every day of the year - lets Lewis roam wide and free, to fascinating effect.' Daily Mail, 2023's best history books
With entries for every day of the year, ranging from mini-essays to pithy and engaging sentences, Don't Stop the Music is a novel musical companion - a way of charting your year through the major events and tiny incidents in the lives and careers of pop stars and recording artists.
Whether it be when pop became newsworthy; when future stars attended notable gigs; when that K-Pop act issued their first single; or when Elvis Presley found himself on TV singing 'Hound Dog' to a basset hound, there are surprising and enlightening events from the history of popular music for every single day of the year. And esteemed music writer Justin Lewis has compiled them all for you, informatively and divertingly.
***
'A wonderful ride through our pop universe amongst thousands of bright stars, gnarled debris and twinkling nuggets of music and events made distant over time. Lewis has made all of it up-close and vivid through this indispensable companion for anyone who loves music and popular culture. Whatever the age of the reader, it's brimming with new discoveries and triggering classics: memories and signposts make this an intoxicating music journey!' Peter Curran
'This is an astonishing book, a calendar of pop, an almanac of songs, a day by day in the life of music. A book of events that's an event in itself.' David Quantick
'An absolute must for all music fans, Lewis' addictive volume is packed to the gills with facts, trivia, notable events and pure pop nuggets.' Waterstones
'A brilliant musical almanac, compiled by an engaging writer whose musical knowledge is not just detailed but wide-ranging and generous.' Jonathan Coe
304 pages.
