This one-day course will critically explore the mutual influence of British and American popular music, from the 1960s British ‘invasion’ to the recent success of white British soul singers, such as Amy Winehouse. There will be particular focus on the processes of how British musicians (e.g. The Beatles, Adele) have historically accessed African-American styles, appropriated and transformed them to suit local tastes, then successfully sold them back to America.
