Rock and Roll originated in a town called Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Rock and Roll was a term used around the late 40's-early 50's to describe a mean, fast blues song or album, combined with, as said before, crooning. The person to come closest to inventing or starting rock and roll would be Chuck Berry by the majority of surveys. However, the originator of the electric guitar, Les Paul, wrote the first song or piece on the electric guitar, and later formed a music group with his wife Mary Ford.
They seemed to prefer good old rock and roll music. Has that always been the case? And just who invented rock and roll anyway? Rock and roll â sometimes written rock 'n' roll or rock & roll â can be hard to describe, but people know it when they hear it. Compared to other styles of music, it's more exotic and thrilling. It's fun. It's spontaneous. It's like an uninhibited soundtrack for rebellion. Rock and roll was born in America in the 1950s and, like America, its creation was the work of many people over many years. No one person can claim to have invented rock and roll. Instead, rock and roll was the convergence of various paths simultaneously heading to the same destination. Black rhythm and blues artists alongside white pop and country artists learned from one another and began mixing their sounds.
