This book explores the system behind the Monkees, the controversial made-for-TV band that scored some of the biggest hits in the 1960s. The Monkees represent the cumulative result of a complex coordination of talented individuals, from songwriters to studio musicians to producers--in short, the 1960s Hollywood music industry. At the time, the new rock criticism bewailed the \"fake\" band while fans and audiences pushed the Monkees to the top of the charts. Through the Monkees' unlikely success, this book illustrates the commercial genius of the Hollywood system and its legacy in popular music today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789147070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248","brand":"Tom Kemper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42935677911221,"sku":"9781789147070","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d80eff87-fecd-4bde-9cf6-74039e4c7f30.jpg?v=1688491899","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-monkees-made-in-hollywood-9781789147070","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
