About the Book

Discover the Music that Changed Everything Embark on a complex and inspiring journey through the last 101 years as told through some of the most memorable hits and the artists behind them. Noah Lefevre, creator of Polyphonic, explores how our favorite music does more than entertain. From Aretha Franklin carving out her own space in what had been considered a man's world by reworking the chauvinistic lyrics to the 1967's hit "Respect," to Doja Cat's successful backlash against toxic fans of the digital age; from a broken amplifier on "Rocket 88" ushering in the distorted sounds of rock n' roll, to Kendrick Lamar's release of "Alright," which became the unofficial anthem to the BLM protests--each song mirrors the strife, change and progress of our country's narrative. In this rich and engrossing guide for music lovers everywhere, you'll discover how a single song can make history.

About the Author :
Noah Lefevre is the creator behind the massively popular YouTube channel Polyphonic, where he draws from his experience as a music journalist to create mini-documentaries analyzing songs, music genres, aspects of music theory, and American history and culture. He lives in Ottawa, Canada. Brian Telestai is an American musician and actor based in the Pacific Northwest. He started in the entertainment industry as a founding member of I Am Ghost on Epitaph Records (bass/keys/orchestration/background vocals). You might have seen him on the front page of Myspace, playing on the Vans Warped Tour in 2006 or 2007, or even on posters at your local mall, when he was a model for Hot Topic. These days, he works as a film, stage, and television actor, voice-over artist, and audiobook narrator. He is also passionate about writing hard rock musicals, helping his wife of fifteen years with her performing arts camps, hiking and forest bathing along the Boise River, and cuddling his tuxedo cat, Hiro.
