Description
In this episode "Producer pop", from the BBC Bristol television music documentary series "Popular song: Soundtrack of the century", popular music of the 1950s-early 1960's was transformed by record producers like Mitch Miller, Don Kirshner (Aldon Music) and Phil Spector. Various songwriters from Tin Pan Alley, the Brill Building, and "The Wall of Sound" helped reshape the sound of pop music with the growing influence of rock and roll. Many writers, songwriters, and producers of the era were featured on this program. This broadcast aired in America (New York?) on Ovation TV. Various commercials are included.

(Patti Page) ; "Mule train" (Frankie Laine) ; "Come on'a my house" (Rosemary Clooney) ; "Jezebel" (Frankie Laine) ; "Tennessee waltz" (Patti Page) ; "Cold, cold heart" (performed by both Hank Williams & Tony Bennett) ; "Your cheatin' heart" (Tony Bennett) ; "Long Tall Sally" (Chuck Berry) ; "Rock around the clock" (Bill Haley and the Comets) ; "Alexander's ragtime band" (vocals and piano performed by Ian Whitcomb) ; "Stupid Cupid" (performed by both Neil Sedaka and Connie Francis) ; "Oh! Carol" (Neil Sedaka) ; "Will you love me tomorrow?" (The Shirelles) ; "You don't own me" (Lesley Gore) ; "Da doo run run" (The Crystals (and Darlene Love)) ; "He's a rebel" (performed by both Gene Pitney and The Crystals (and Darlene Love)) ; "Twenty-four hours from Tulsa" (Gene Pitney) ; "Baby I need your loving" (The Four Tops) ; "You lost that lovin' feelin' (Reprise) (The Righteous Brothers).
