Thread Name: Commercial popular music
Subject: RE: Commercial popular music
yes we are i have named song writers who wrote commercial recordings for the sole intent of making money, their wotk may be popular but that does not make it good. nobody else as yet has given an example of 20 or 21st century popular music that was written with the sole intent of making money , that was any good. There is no proof that Gershwin wrote solely for money, the guys i mentioned did and their songs are ephemeral
