LOST EPISODE: ANSWER SONGS (UNRELEASED 2020): This is a re-edited version of an episode I had finished and ready to go when the RIAA brought the smackdown in August 2020. An answer song is a song made in response to a previous song, normally by another artist. The concept became widespread in blues and R&B recorded music in the 1930s to the 1950s. Answer songs were also extremely popular in country music in the 1950s and 1960s, most often as female responses to an original hit by a male artist. In Rock Eras: Interpretations of Music and Society, Jim Curtis says that: "Answer songs rode on the coattails, as it were, of the popularity of the first song, and resembled parodies in that their success depended on a knowledge of the original. Answer songs were usually one-hit flukes by unknown singers whose lack of identity did not detract from the success of the record since only the song, and not the performer, mattered." by ROCK AND/OR ROLL
