Before rock ‘n’roll became a musical catigory, such rhythm and blues hits as “Rocket ‘88”(1951) by Jackie Brenston had the idea of rock ‘n’roll. This and other similar records became increasingly popular with both black rythm and blues audiences and white country music audiences.

The major rock ‘n’ roll exploson began with Elvis Presley. The popularity of his sound quickly made Presley a superstar.

Richard Penniman, known as Little Richard, helped influince rock performance styles. His vigourous and flamboyant stage performances previded a model for performers who followed.

Another importent person on rock music was St. Louis blues artist Chuck Berry. His lyrics effectively expressed the feelings and prolems of kids. Berry’s first hit record was a country-styled tune titled “Maybellene”(1955). Berry was a major person on later rock performers, including the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

Bill Haley and the Comets became the first famous rock band. Their recording of “Rock Around the Clock”was the first internationel rock hit. The song contributed to rock ‘n’roll’s reputation as music of rebellion.
