The original form of rock and roll declined towards the end of the 1950s with the tragic deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper in a plane crash, as well as the temporary or permanent exit of many other prominent artists from the music industry Marketing and Music: Any Song Can Become Famous? - Today let's dive into a topic that's been buzzing around a lot: the relationship between marketing and music.
