Presentation transcript:

 What evolved out of early blues and rhythm and blues  African American term for sex  DJ Alan Freed popularized the term  What is the first Rock and Roll song ever?

 “Good Rockin’ Tonight”: Roy Brown  “Rocket 88”: Jackie Brenston  “Rock Around the Clock”: Bill Haley  “That’s Alright Mama”: Elvis

 White teens begin to favour musicians who put on shows  Older blues players were getting to be too old  Little Richard and Chuck Berry became the new “heroes” to teens  2 are known as the “godfathers of rock and roll”

 Fast paced piano playing  Flamboyant outfits  Wanted to be “different and exciting”  Hit songs include: “Lucille”, “Tutti Frutti”, “Good golly miss Molly”, “Long Tall Sally”

 Wanted to appeal to white teen audience  Blended Rhythm and Blues with country to create a newer sound...eventually lead to rock and roll  Hits included: “Maybelline”, “Rock and Roll Music”, “Johnny Be Goode”

 Johnny Be Goode

 The popularity of a wild, teen oriented rock and roll can be attributed to a number of social changes that occurred in the 1950’s

 1) Television: made space available on radio as network shows moved from the radio to tv  2) Disc Jockeys around the country became obsessed with the new sound  3) Portable transistor radio hit the market (allowing teens to listen to whatever)  4) The car radio became the norm

 5) Civil Rights movement made whites more accepting of black music  6) Prosperous time = teens had $$$ to spend  7) Baby Boom = more teens

 The integration of white and black youths elicited a racist response from many white adults  Whites protested that Rock and Roll “brings out animalism and vulgarity” and is “the devil’s music”  Radio stations began banning rock and roll as a result

 Crooners and labels spoke out against R and R  Sinatra: “the most ugly, brutal, desperate, vicious form of expression it has been my misfortune to hear”  DJ’s who lost listeners also rebelled  Many feared that African Americans were taking over....sound familiar?

 Record companies began fearing the indie labels and needed a plan  Feared the economic consequence of a new popular music that they could not control  Once the white audience was gone, they would have nothing  Labels began releasing “covers”  (cover your ears...)

 Pat Boone vs. Little Richard

 “Sh-Boom”  The Crew Cuts: innocent, safe, no solo or improvisation, cartoon/comedy (not threatening), #1 on pop charts, #1 song of the year  The Chords: sensual sound, deep voice, distortion, less reverb = more breathing, sax solo, #5 on pop charts
