MUSIC AT ITS FINEST

What is rock and roll? It is many things to many fans over several different generations, but the genre of the music continues to thrive. Why is this?

The Origins of Rock and Roll Music

The common belief of rock and roll music is that it was founded in America in the late 1940s and the 1950s. It was known as a cross between country music and rhythm and blues. Alan Freed, an early disc jockey from Cleveland, called his show "The Rock and Roll Session" which was popular in the 1950s. The show is regarded as one of the first, if not the actual first, to mention rock and roll.

The most well-known theory is that "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and His Comets was the first authentic rock and roll song to hit the mainstream charts. This was released in 1954, but Bill Haley had already had hits with "Rock the Joint" and "Crazy Man Crazy". The latter is considered to be the first rock and roll record to reach the top 20 in the Billboard charts in America.

Why Is it Still Popular?

Rock and roll music has stood the test of time. The 1960s is regarded as the heyday of this music, with such artists as Elvis Presley taking this genre to new heights. Elvis is still regarded today as one of the most popular performers of this music with such songs as "All Shook Up", "Jailhouse Rock " and "Blue Suede Shoes". There are many other artists such as Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry, to name a few, who are still played on worldwide music radio stations today.
