tweak wording on a few things - Preston's Rock the Joint is not a rockabilly recording, but Haley's cover is

Rock 'n' roll started in TheFifties in the US, and was created by black musicians. Rock is a fusion of...well, considering the [[AlternativeRock millions]] [[Music/HeavyMetal of]] [[ProgressiveRock different]] [[HardRock subgenres]] [[PunkRock it]] [[{{Grunge}} has]], it's a fusion of whatever you want and whatever else you want. There's no concrete definition of the genre, aside from the inclusion of electric guitar and percussion [[FolkRock (and even ''that'' is debatable)]]. One of the more common definitions is the melding of rhythm and blues with country western; others say rock and roll is simply rhythm & blues under another name. And of course that really only applies to the earliest forms of rock from the 1950s - later rock can be linked to neither R&B nor C&W. Nor early rock, for that matter.

After the door was opened by Bill Haley and the film BlackboardJungle, ElvisPresley brought rock 'n' roll into the mainstream. Then, towards the end of TheFifties, rock 'n' roll [[DeaderThanDisco died]], Elvis got reduced to starring in some really bad movies, and it took the Brits, previously alien towards rock, to [[TheBritishInvasion revive it and totally change its form]]. One of these bands, rather obviously, was/were Music/TheBeatles.
