A short history of rock music.
Rock music in one form or another is now the most popular type of music all over the world.
Black music. Rock began in the USA in the early 1950s. At that time, "rhythm and blues" music was very popular with black Americans. "R&B" was a mixture of black religious music ("gospel") and jazz. It had strong rhythm that you could dance to and simple, fast lyrics.
Rock'n'roll. Noticing the success of R&B music, white musicians started to copy the same style. By the mid 1950s, this new white R&B music called "rock'n'roll", had become very popular. Singers like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley attracted millions of teenage fans. Their music was fast and loud. Many older people thought that "rock'n'roll" was very dangerous. By the early 1960s, even "rock'n'roll" had become old-fashioned. Many of the songs had begun to sound the same. It was at that time that a new group from England became popular: The Beatles.
The Beatles. The Beatles first started by singing American style songs, but they soon developed their own style, with more complicated melodies. They also introduced different instruments, such as the Indian sitar. Groups like The Beatles gad a very important influence on the style of popular music. By the early 1970s, rock'n'roll had developed into a new form music. Electronics had replaced the amplified guitars and drums of rock\n\roll. "Rock" had arrived.
Rock today. Rock music has continued to change and develop. It has combined with music from different parts of the world. Today, there are hundreds of different types of rock music, and almost every country has its own form of rock. There is a "heavy metal" which is extremely loud hard rhythms, "reggae", from Jamaica, that combines rock with jazz and Latin rhythms, "rap" that developed on the streets of New York, "disco" a type of soft rock music for dancing," Afro-rock" that combines rock with African rhythms, "Mex-rock", which combines rock with traditional Mexican melodies :and many, many more.
