Rock ‘n’ Roll derived from earlier forms of American music, influenced by a long tradition of folk music but mostly birthed from the immensely popular African American sound known as The Blues. Chuck Berry is considered by many to be the progenitor of Rock ‘n’ Roll, with Elvis Presley popularizing both the movement and the sound among Whites. In the early ‘60s, the “British Invasion” saw dozens of musicians and bands from England emigrating to the United States to mature the new sound that had caught the imagination of youth culture all across the Western hemisphere. Since then, many phases or eras of rock have developed, from punk to grunge, emo to heavy metal.
