Did a black person invent rock and roll alone?

I think that it's BS to say they did it alone.


Rock and roll came from a lot of places.


Whites, blacks, and (I wouldn't be surprised if) Spanish people were all in on it.


Besides rock is not a black or white music


It's a music for all people


It was made for rebellion.


Rebellion sees beyond race.|||no black person invented rock and roll .blacks are musical people . but in the slave days blacks would sing in the fields when picking cotton. but it was nothing like rock and roll.. they started jud joints where blacks would meet and sing the blues.. elvis and other singers copied and added to it making it rock and roll|||In the beginning of the fifties, white music was very tame, while black music was lively RnB, a mixture of uptempo blues and gospel, that became noticed by some white musicians. The term rock'n'roll was coined by a DJ called Alan Freed, when white musicians played what was essentially black music and made it acceptable for white teenagers.


Bill Hailey, Elvis Presley and others took black music, made it a bit whiter and made money out of it, while black musicians still played only to black audiences.


So basically, rock'n'roll was invented by black musicians.|||Rock n' Roll was not invented by any one person, but it was definitively a black artform. In the 50s, white kids who liked it were seen as rebellious, hence the "rebel" matra. Following the hippie movement, ppl began to integrate electric guitars in leiu of a piano and it became a more interracial artform.|||Black folks certainly influenced Rock and Roll.... They may not have created it - but there influence and beat sure was......|||It's a music for all people !
