Some Of The History Of Rock And Roll Music-Part 1!!

Mar 18, 2018
    Martyn Goodacre/Photoshot/Hulton Archive/Getty Images     Music                                                                       by Tim Grierson     Updated September 08, 2017      Rock music has been a volatile, unpredictable creature that has constantly redefined and reinvented itself since its emergence in the late 1940s. Not surprisingly, then, it can be extremely difficult to apply a straightforward definition to such a restless musical format.  But while people might quibble over specifics, rock music can generally be described as hard-edged music performed with electric guitars, bass, and drums and usually accompanied by lyrics sung by a vocalist.     Advertisement     That sounds simple enough, but a closer look at the evolution of rock suggests how different styles and influences have shaped its development over the years. First, a look back at its foundations.  Rock's Origins (1940s-‘60s)  Roc’s origins can be traced back to the late 1940s, when the popular styles of the day, country music, and blues, morphed into a new sound aided by electric guitars and a steady drum beat. Pioneering rock artists of the ‘50s like Chuck Berry leaned heavily on classic blues structures while demonstrating a flair as natural-born entertainers. As opposed to the safe pop music of the era, rock’s aggressive attack suggested a sexual freedom that proved shocking during that conservative age.  By the early ‘60s, Berry’s followers, most notably the Rolling Stones, expanded rock’s scope by transitioning from singles artists into musicians capable of producing cohesive albums of songs.     Embracing sex and youthful rebellion in their music, the Stones courted controversy but also elevated rock to new cultural heights.
