Bands were just one iteration of popular music
- Bing Crosby quit Paul Whiteman
- Sinatra quit Tommy Dorsey
By the '50s Elvis & Buddy Holly were the focus not their bands, even if BH had to release records as The Crickets for convoluted contractual reasons.
The Beatles were a curious return to the band era. Perhaps it was an offshoot of the idealist/collectivist outlook of the time.
I saw a doc (90s?) which said how Alabama "brought the band concept to country music".
All that was killed by rap.
Why be part of a group, at the mercy of group decisions (& splitting the money), when you can work by yourself?

and have your drug addled lead singer attack you onstage?
or do like santana and just bring in singers and contract the band and own everything?

Because I needed a drummer for live shows. Fake drums live is peak cringe.
