The earliest Rock and Roll started in the 1940's with artists such as Chuck Berry, Willie Dixon, and Buddy Guy. Each of these artist influenced other musicians that carried on in the 1960's and 1970's. Ultimately, is hard to say who exactly started it all. In my opinion, is was a force of other variations that led to it.|||the term was coined by a radio dj in cleveland, ohio, Alan Freed. it was slang for what teenagers would do in the backseat of their parents cars. the debate of who invented the actuall first music "rock'n'roll" is really near impossible to come to a definative conclusion. really, what defines r'n'r|||alan freed|||BLACK PEOPLE. YES|||I have answered many variations of this Q and I still stand by my affirmation that before Elvis, before Chuck Berry, before Bill Haley and the Comets...Hank Williams, Sr. combined elements of Country, big band swing, and blues and fused it into what is arguably the earliest form of rock n roll. He also excelled at the excesses of the rock n roll lifestyle (sex, drugs, alcohol) and was dead at the age of 29!|||Chuck Berry invented rock and roll in 1955. He was a black man playing black music. But times had changed: white kids were listening to rhythm and blues throughout the Northeast, and white musicians were playing rhythm and blues side to side with country music. The music industry soon understood that there was a white market for black music and social prejudice, racial barriers, could nothing against the forces of capitalism. Rock and roll was an overnight success. The music industry promoted white idols such as Elvis Presley, but the real heroes were the likes of Chuck Berry, who better symbolize the synergy between the performer and the audience. The black rockers, and a few white rockers, epitomized the youth's rebellious mood, their need for a soundtrack to their dreams of anticonformism. Their impact was long lasting, but their careers were short lived. For one reason or another, they all stopped recording after a brief time. Rock and roll was inherited by white singers, such as Presley, who often performed songs composed by obscure black musicians. White rockers became gentler and gentler, thereby drowning rock and roll's very reason to exist. Buddy Holly was the foremost white rocker of the late Fifties, while cross-pollination with country music led to the vocal harmonies of the Everly Brothers and the instrumental rock of Duan Eddy.
