"Our attention will be directed primarily to the dilemma of what properly constitutes a protest song in a given time and historical place. Equally, who are the singers of songs of persuasion?" R. Serge Denisoff (1939-1994) founded and was editor of the Journal of Popular Music and Society. He is the author of many books, including Inside MTV, Sing a Song of Social Significance, and Solid Gold: The Popular Record Industry. Dr. R. Serge Denisoff was born on June 2, 1939 in San Francisco. In 1969 Denisoff was awarded a Ph.D. in Sociology from Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. His research interests focused upon "political consciousness and social movements" and "protest songs and the American Communist Party". His numerous published works concentrated primarily upon sociological and musical topics. Books included such titles as Inside MTV, Solid Gold: The Popular Record Industry and Waylon. Dr. Denisoff received a faculty position at BGSU in the Sociology Department in 1970 and remained until his retirement in 1990. Dr. Denisoff's professional affiliations included memberships in such organizations as the American Sociological Association, the Popular Culture Association and the American Folklore Society. He founded the Journal of Popular Music and Society and served as editor.
