Rock and roll byl popisován jako sloučení country hudby a rytmu a blues, ale pokud by to bylo tak jednoduché, existovalo by dlouho předtím, než by se dostalo do národního vědomí. Semena hudby existovala po celá desetiletí, ale kvetla v polovině padesátých let, když byla živena těkavou směsí černé kultury a bílé spotřební síly. Černé vokální skupiny, jako Domino a Španěl, začaly kombinovat harmonie ve stylu evangelia a zpěv call-and-response s pozemským tématem a agresivnějšími rytmy rytmů a blues. Tento nový zvuk ohlašovali diskžokeji jako Alan Freed z Clevelandu, Ohio, Dewey Phillips z Memphisu, Tennessee a William („Hoss“) Allen z WLAC v Nashvillu,Tennessee - který vytvořil rock-and-roll rádio hraním tvrdých jízdních rytmických a bluesových a deštivých bluesových záznamů, které představovaly bílé příměstské teenagery do kultury, která zněla exotičtěji, napínavěji a nezákonněji než cokoli, co kdy věděli. V roce 1954 se zvuk spojil s obrazem: hezkého bílého zpěváka Elvisa Presleyho, který zněl jako černoch.
Presley’s nondenominational taste in music incorporated everything from hillbilly rave-ups and blues wails to pop-crooner ballads. Yet his early recordings with producer Sam Phillips, guitarist Scotty Moore, and bassist Bill Black for Sun Records in Memphis were less about any one style than about a feeling. For decades African Americans had used the term rock and roll as a euphemism for sex, and Presley’s music oozed sexuality. Presley was hardly the only artist who embodied this attitude, but he was clearly a catalyst in the merger of black and white culture into something far bigger and more complex than both.
In Presley’s wake, the music of black singers such as Fats Domino, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Bo Diddley, who might have been considered rhythm-and-blues artists only years before, fit alongside the rockabilly-flavoured tunes of white performers such as Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, and Jerry Lee Lewis, in part because they were all now addressing the same audience: teenagers. For young white America, this new music was a soundtrack for rebellion, however mild. When Bill Haley and His Comets kicked off the 1955 motion picture Blackboard Jungle with “Rock Around the Clock,” teens in movie houses throughout the United States stomped on their seats. Movie stars such as Marlon Brando in The Wild One (1953) and James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause (1955) oozed sullen, youthful defiance that was echoed by the music. This emerging rock-and-roll culture brought a wave of condemnations from religious leaders, government officials, and parents’ groups, who branded it the “devil’s music.”
The music industry’s response was to sanitize the product: it had clean-cut, nonthreatening artists such as Pat Boone record tame versions of Little Richard songs, and it manufactured a legion of pretty-boy crooners such as Frankie Avalon and Fabian who thrived on American Bandstand and who would essentially serve as the Perry Comos and Bing Crosbys for a new generation of listeners. By the end of the 1950s, Presley had been inducted into the army, Holly had died in a plane crash, and Little Richard had converted to gospel. Rock and roll’s golden era had ended, and the music entered a transitional phase characterized by a more sophisticated approach: the orchestrated wall of sound erected by Phil Spector, the “hit factory” singles churned out by Motown records, and the harmony-rich surf fantasies of the Beach Boys. By the mid-1960s this sophistication allowed the music greater freedom than ever before, and it fragmented into numerous styles that became known simply as rock.
