Hits and Misses by Robert Toft
A popular music scholarship, analyzing the creative processes behind some very familiar hit singles from the 1960s. It examines a selection of songs and recordings through the lens of textual criticism and delineates the creative process as it unfolds from the initial conception of a song to the final mix presented on disc.
'In this fine book, Robert Toft guides you through a medley of craftsmanlike aesthetic moments..Will the book help you write a hit? Unlikely, but it may well help you understand why you keep missing.' -- Word Magazine
