Go
Rock, Now!!!! - - -
The
history of rock evolved from rhythm and blues, country and gospel music in the
1940's with classical, jazz and folk music also having a strong influence. The
first radio station to play rock music was in 1951 by a disc jockey named Alan
Freed in Cleveland, Ohio. Rock
music itself attracted a multiracial group of listeners as well as performers.
Some of the early performers of rock music included; Bill Haley and the Comets,
James Brown, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Otis Reding, Elvis Presley and BB King. | | |
