Gleason was among the most respected journalists, interviewers, and critics writing about popular music in the latter half of the twentieth century. As a longtime contributor to the San Francisco Chronicle, Down Beat, and Ramparts, his expertise and insights about music, musicians, and cultural trends were unparalleled, whether his subject was jazz, folk, pop, or rock and roll. He was the only music journalist included on President Richard Nixon's infamous "Enemies List," which Gleason himself considered "the highest honor a man's country can bestow upon him." This sterling anthology, edited by Gleason's son Toby, himself a forty-year veteran of the music business, spans Ralph J. Gleason's four decades as popular music's preeminent commentator. Drawing from a rich variety of sources, including Gleason's books, essays, interviews, and LP record album liner notes, it is essential reading for writers, historians, scholars, and music lovers of every stripe.Popular music20th centuryHistory and criticismPopular musicHistory and criticism.781.6409045Gleason Ralph J., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1525223Wenner Jann702524Gleason Toby, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910798207403321Music in the Air3766450UNINA
