    “Rocket ‘88.’”
    Jackie Brenston and
    His Delta Cats’ 1951 single, “Rocket ‘88.’” Recorded in
    Memphis and produced
    by Sam Phillips (Elvis Presley’s first producer),
    • While it is legally credited to Brenston, he may have written
    only the lyrics and lifted the music from an earlier song
    called “Cadillac Boogie”
    simple verse form
    verse
    instrumental verse
    • Simple verse form. It repeats a single section of
    music eight times and, as you will see in the diagram,
    each section is labeled either “verse”
    or“instrumental verse.”
    • The only exception is verse 2, which slightly alters
    the structure found in all the other sections.
    • Simple verse form is common in rock music, and we
    will see many instances of it in the chapters that
    follow.
    Doo – Wop Progression

    • I – vi – IV – V. In the key of C, this


    progression would go C – A minor – F – G

    • This familiar chord progression can


    heard in 1950s tracks such as the Five Satins’ “In the Still
    of the Night” and the Del Vikings’ “Come Go with Me.”
    TYPICAL FORMAL TYPES IN
    AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC
    • Simple Verse Form.
    • Simple Verse-Chorus.
    • Contrasting Verse-Chorus.
    • AABA Form.

    • The 12-Bar Blues.


    • The Doo-Wop Progression
    • Bridge.
    Simple Verse - Chorus
    • A chorus is a section that repeats the same music and
    lyrics intact in each presentation. (Remember that
    verses use the same music with different words.)
    When a single musical pattern is used as the basis for
    both verses and choruses in a song, the resulting form
    is called simple verse - chorus
    Contrasting Verse - Chorus.
    • Unlike a simple verse-chorus, in which the
    verse and chorus sections share the same
    musical material, when the verses and
    choruses of a song employ different music,
    we call this contrasting verse - chorus.
    AABA
    • We use the designation AABA to show that the first
    two 8-bar phrases are very similar, the third 8-bar
    phrase is contrasting, and the last 8-bar phrase is
    similar to the first two.
