Origins of rock and roll
Rock and roll
emerged as a defined musical style in the
United States
in the early to mid-1950s. It derived most directly from the
rhythm and blues
music of the 1940s, which itself developed from earlier
blues
,
boogie woogie
,
jazz
and
swing music
, and was also influenced by
gospel
,
country and western
, and traditional
folk music
. Rock and roll in turn provided the main basis for the music that, since the mid-1960s, has been generally known simply as
rock music
.
