Put on your dancing shoes and move to the music.
Rock and roll sprang from a combination of African-American genres,
Western swing, and country music that exploded in post World War II
America. Jim O'Connor explains what constitutes rock music, follows its
history and sub-genres through famous musicians and groups, and shows
how rock became so much more than just a style of music influencing
fashion, language, and lifestyle.
