Less dramatic, but still significant, was the integration of Canadian music and musicians into the American music scene. Singers like Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell and Anne Murray began to appear on charts in the 60s. In the decades since, Canadian musicians like Celine Dion and Drake, have joined American singers as the top-selling artists in the U.S. and the world. We will listen to and discuss the music of many of these northern neighbors. Be prepared to participate in this interactive, multi-genre class.
