Synopsis: Popular music is presented in a serious way in this encyclopedic work that includes rock and roll, jazz, blues, soul, country, reggae, Latin, and African pop. No illustrations or photographs lighten the look, but almost any popular group or single performer of any note has an entry that includes the date of birth (when available), a short summary of the group or musician's work, and a list of recordings. A "quick reference guide" at the end of the fourth volume provides an alphabetical listing of all of the entries, and a lengthy index provides access to all of the musicians discussed. The six-volume Contemporary Musicians (Gale, 1989) is more attractive, and has photographs and longer articles as well as information on classical artists who have achieved crossover success. The Oxford Companion to Popular Music (1991) is also similar and includes terms such as jazz or reggae that the Guinness discusses in the introduction but not in separate entries. Other similar works are The Penguin Encyclopedia of Popular Music (1989) and The Encyclopedia of Pop, Rock, and Soul (St. Martins, 1989). While all of these works have been published fairly recently, The Guinness Encyclopedia is the most up to date and includes more African musicians, making it a good additional purchase (Margaret Tice, Brooklyn Public Library).
