Pop standard

Hey kiddo, have you ever heard a catchy tune on the radio or while shopping at the mall? That's called a pop song! Pop is short for popular, which means a lot of people like it.

Pop music has been around for a long time, with the first pop songs being developed in the 1950s. These songs had a catchy beat, easy-to-sing lyrics, and were designed to appeal to a wide audience.

The Pop Standard is a type of pop music that became popular in the 1960s and 1970s. It's different from other types of pop music because it usually has a bigger band and focuses on singing with a strong melody. The songs can be really emotional and touching, or they might just make you want to dance.

Some famous pop standard artists include Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nat King Cole. They were all really popular singers who made people feel happy and emotional with their music.

So, that's what pop standard is, kiddo! It's a type of pop music that's been around for a long time and is still popular with people who love a good tune that will make them feel something.
