American Music Finds Resonance (1959)

By the close of the 1950s – at the very latest – American mass culture, above all popular music, clothing (jeans), and television films, had assumed a strong presence in the Federal Republic and West Berlin. This photograph shows a radio shop on Kurfürstendamm [Ku'damm], where the latest records could be sampled. Photo by Will McBride.
