A leading expert on American music offers the behind-the-scenes history of twelve great standards of twentieth-century popular music, describing the circumstances under which it was written and originally performed, its musical and lyric content, and the performers who made them famous.
Review:
"These 'biographies' brim with life and welcome information....A knowledgeable treasure trove for popular-music buffs."
Kirkus, 02/15/2002
Review:"Friedwald reveals himself as a trivia buff who sometimes has trouble distinguishing the forest from the tree fungus....Friedwald is a deeply attentive and emotionally attuned listener. His descriptions of performances are so precise and detailed that STARDUST MELODIES could serve as a primer on how to listen to prerock music....[It] may be the closest thing we have to a standard text on American pop from the first half of the 20th century. It persuasively and sometimes thrillingly makes a case for the canon of American popular standards as a great, finely wrought musical literature...."
Stephen Holden, New York Times Book Review, 06/02/2002
