<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none">Zak’s talk will examine the implications of the market success of Elvis Presley’s ‘Hound Dog,’ which claimed the number-one spot on the Pop, Country, and R&B charts in the summer of 1956. The record was widely
scorned by music industry veterans and high-pop aficionados, yet in its rude enthusiasm it represents an emphatic assertion of aesthetic principle at the dawn of rock and roll.<span lang="EN-GB"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none">The AMS/RRHOFM Lecture Series will continue in Spring 2012 with a lecture by David Brackett (McGill University) entitled “Fox-Trots, Hillbillies, and the Classic Blues: Categorizing Popular Music in the 1920s.”<span lang="EN-GB"></span></p>
