How do songs become big hits? "Making Music: Unique Ways Songs Became Hits" describes how 690 songs by 411 artists became American hits between 1955-1999. Lavishly illustrated and lively written, the book explores the "3 Rs" of a song's success: the 'riting, recording and releasing.

"Making Music" covers rock, pop, rap/hip-hop, soul, country, jazz, Latin, reggae, novely songs and even a couple Christmas carols.
