Rock and Roll and it's beginnings! Rock and roll began as a hybrid of many differant forms of Music, Blues, Jazz, country, and others! Most Rock Historians believe the first Rock and roll song to be "Rocket 88" by the Delta Kings. Bill Haley and the comets were the first true superstars of Rock and Roll! They had the first Rock hit to reach Billboards singles charts with 1953's "Crazy Man Crazy" and, of course the first number one Rock hit in 1954 with the legendary "Rock around the Clock" |

 Elvis Presly! The King of Rock and Roll! Elvis was Rock and Rolls first true Superstar! It's True That Bill Hailey predated the King and had the first number one Rock and Roll Hit, but Elvis popularity thrived until the day he died and Haileys would wane before 1960! |
The British Invasion took America by storm in the 1960's American Rock Music was in shambles! Elvis stint in the army took america's king away for a couple of years! Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry both had scandles that rocked their careers. Buddy holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper would die in a plane crash and Little Richard would become a minister! All of these events and more would pave the way for the British Invasion! |
