SOFT ROCK

Du Rock tranquille

Le Soft Rock ou Light Rock ou Smooth Rock est un genre musical démarrant en 1964 avec le “A Summer Song” de CHAD & JEREMY. Plus doux que le Rock-F.M. des 80’s, le Soft Rock connait son apogée une décennie plus tôt avec des artistes du gabarit d’ERIC CLAPTON, FLEETWOOD MAC, SANTANA ou CHRISTOPHER CROSS en 1979.
