Origins of Rock and Roll

Main article: Origins of rock and roll

More precisely, in terms of social and musical, rock and roll was born in the United States during the 1940's and early 1950. During that time, active processes of cross-fertilization took place between country and western music (predominantly played and heard by white people), western swing and rhythm and blues (R & B), which in turn consists of a variety of genres (including, for example, jump blues, Chicago blues, and doo-wop) and played and heard mostly by black people. These exchange and mixing processes were fed by the shared experiences in the Second World War and radio broadcasting and disks. Several records of this period were the most frequently cited by various authorities as rockoll register first. " These include:

Sister Rosetta Tharpe Strange things are happening every day (1944)

"Rockin Good 'Tonight "by Roy Brown (1947), later covered by Wynonie Harris

"Rock the Joint", either original version by Jimmy Preston 1949 or the 1952 version of Bill Haley

"The Fat Man" by Fats Domino, recorded in December , 1949

"Rocket 88" Jackie Brenston either original, recorded on March 5, 1951 with Ike Turner and the Kings of Rhythm, or cover of Bill Haley, later in 1951

Bill Haley "Rock Around the Clock" (recorded on April 12, 1954) a cover Sonny Dae and his Knights song 1953

Elvis Presley "That's All Right (Mama)" (recorded in July 1954) a cover of Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup of 1,946 songs.

However, there are many other candidates, and many of the issues that whole rock and roll brought back to the records of precursors much earlier. The book What was the First Rock'n'Roll Record Jim Dawson and Steve discussed Propes 50 contenders, Illinois Jacquet, "Blues, Part 2" (1944) with "Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis Presley (1956), without reaching a definitive conclusion. In his introduction, the authors argue that since the modern definition of rock 'n' roll was created by the use of disc jockey Alan Freed of the term in his groundbreaking The Rock and Roll Show in New York in late 1954 WINS as well as their Rock and Roll Jubilee Ball at the St. Nicholas Arena, in January 1955, chose to judge their candidates according Released with the highlighted music: R & B combos, black vocal groups, rattling saxophones, blues belters and white artists playing in authentic style R & B (Bill Haley, Elvis Presley). The artists who appeared at the first sign Freed including bandleader Buddy Johnson, clovers, Fats Domino, Big Joe Turner, the Moonglows, Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters, and the Harptones. That, for example Dawson and Propes, was the first music that rock 'n' roll call during the time when the term stuck in America. Because the honking tenor sax was the driving force in entertainment and in many of the records released I was playing, the authors began their list with shrieks and squawks 1944 live performance of jazz with Illinois Jacquet in the Los Angeles Philharmonic in mid-1944.

Decree against the King Rolling Stone

In 2004, the debate broke out between fans of Elvis Presley, as well as many in the music business saying "That's All Right Mama" was the first rock and roll song, and those who feel the proper claimant must be Bill Haley "Rock Around the Clock", both songs that celebrate its 50th anniversary that year. Rolling Stone gave the step unilateral declaration controversy Presley song the first rock and roll record.

Presley himself would not have been of According to either view. In his book Race, Rock and Elvis, Michael T. Bertrand quotes him on the subject:

Many people seem to think I started this business, but the rock 'n' roll was here a long time before I arrived. Nobody can sing that kind of music like colored people. Let Realistic: I can not sing like Fats Domino. I know. (P. 199)
