How the Themes of Music Changed from the 50's to the 60's

The themes of music from the 1950's to the 1960's changed in many aspects. The rise of girl groups was one of the most monumental phenomenon in music if the decade. Everyone wanted to see the trios and young groups perform. Some of the successful groups included The Marvelettes, The Ronnettes, The Angels, and The Dixie Cups. Each of them had a popular influence on music and they quickly gained interest.
Black artists became more prominent as well, with musicians such as Ray Charles, The Supremes, and Otis Redding who each gained fame in a variety of genres. Motown Records was responsible for some of the largest success and money that resulted from the artists. They brought fame and supported big-name artists, such as Marvin Gaye and The Supremes.
