1930's music

Music was very different in the 1930's than it is now. They had more pop music than anything else. Jazz became popular in the 1930's too. Popular singers and/or dancers of the 1930s include the Andrews Sisters, Fred Astaire, Gene Autry, Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday, Roy Rogers, Ginger Rogers, Shirley Temple, and Ethel Waters. Big band jazz became popular in the 1930s. Big bands consisted of 15 to 20 players who were heard throughout the country at dances, on the radio, and in movies. A style of couples’ dance called "swing dancing" went with big band jazz. One such dance, called the "jitterbug," features partners throwing each other over the head and through the legs.
