Rock 'n' Roll is a transformation of rhythm 'n' blues and black blues. In the mid fifties the first stars were black performers like Chuck Berry but the king of rock 'n' roll was a young southerner named Elvis Presley. He was white but sang like a black man. He lokked like a rebel but had a tender heart.On stage, he swayed his hips and his fans sceamed and danced to the new rhythm. For millions of young people all over the world rock 'n' roll symbolized youth.
