Traditional pop music 

This article deals with the type of music that succeeded big band music and preceded rock and roll as the most popular kind of music in the United States of America, most of Europe, and some other parts of the world.

Traditional pop music is the popular music of the late 1940s and early 1950s. It developed from big band music as a result of the emphasis shifting from the band to the singer.

Singers who typified this genre:

Male singers	Female singers	Male groups	Female groups
Tony Bennett Perry Como[?] Don Cornell[?] Eddie Fisher[?] Dean Martin Guy Mitchell[?] Jimmie Rodgers Frank Sinatra	Teresa Brewer[?] Rosemary Clooney Doris Day Connie Francis Joni James[?] Patti Page[?] Dinah Shore[?] Jo Stafford[?] Kay Starr[?] Gale Storm	The Ames Brothers[?] The Crew-Cuts[?] The Four Aces[?] The Four Lads[?] The Hilltoppers[?] The Mills Brothers[?] The Vogues[?]	The Chordettes[?] The McGuire Sisters[?]

(Note that the Jimmie Rodgers mentioned above isn't to be confused with an earlier country music singer of the same name. He, Connie Francis, and The Vogues were from a somewhat later era than most of the singers listed above; however, their style is closer to traditional pop than to the rock and roll typical of their era.)

Sometimes this music is considered "easy-listening music[?]," but there is at best a large overlap between the two.
