English as a global Language
When modern popular music arrived, it was almost entirely an English scene. The pop groups of two chief English-speaking nations were soon to dominate the recording world: Bill Haley and the Comets and Elvis Presley in the USA; the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in the UK. Mass audiences for pop singers became a routine feature of the world scene from the 1960s. No other single source has spread the English language around the youth of the world so rapidly and so pervasively. In 1996, Nick Reynolds, a popular music producer of the BBC World Service, writing in the English-speaking Union's periodical Concord, commented: ‘Pop music is virtually the only field in which the British have led the world in the past three decades’, and adds, echoing the accolade made some 200 years ago (p. 71), Britain is still the pop workshop of the planet'.
