The most popular recording entity of the acoustic era (pre mid 1920s) was the Peerless Quartet. How many teens of the 60s (or even 50s) knew who they were?
Yes, but was the Peerless Quartet music still playing on popular radio stations in 1965?
I still hear Beatles music all the time. As well as Rolling Stones and other groups who were popular 50 years ago.
Excellent point. It’s funny how each generation has its “timeless artists” that turn out to be very much of their time.
