Ernest Commercial popular music (86* d) RE: Commercial popular music 16 Sep 15


As MGM Lion quoted in the "Actors who play/sing folk music" thread:

"Many of MacColl's best-known songs were written for the theatre. For example, he wrote "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" very quickly at the request of Peggy Seeger, who needed it for use in a play she was appearing in..."

I presume one had to pay an admission fee to see the play - so it seems to be written for commercial reasons too.

Now how does that change the value of the song, GSS?
