Cause and Effect presents:
Hey Listeners,
It is my pleasure to be hosting Cause and Effect today. Since the Academy Awards are tomorrow night, I thought I’d focus on rock ‘n’ roll and the soundtrack.

The birth – rock’ n ’roll enters film in late 50s – as more people are listening to rock ‘n’n roll than the popular music that used to be in films – and a marriage made in heaven is born – locked forever – scenes from movies tied to songs / soundtrack albums – etc. – the birth of a new segment of the music industry and the movie industry
