Short Stories: Rock 'n' Roll

Rock and roll emerged as a defined musical style in the United States in the early to mid-1950s. 
It derived most directly from the rhythm and blues music of the 1940s, which itself developed 
from earlier blues, boogie woogie, jazz and swing music, and was also influenced by gospel, 
country and western, and traditional folk music. 
Rock and roll in turn provided the main basis for the music that, since the mid-1960s, 
has been generally known simply as rock music.
(from Wikipedia)

Origins of Rock

Essentially hybrid in origin, rock music includes elements of several black and white American
music styles: black guitar-accompanied blues; black rhythm and blues, noted for saxophone solos; 
black and white gospel music; white country and western music; and the songs of white popular 
crooners and harmony groups. 
Emerging in 1954–55, rock music was initially referred to as "rock 'n' roll." 
After 1964 it was simply called "rock music." The change in terminology indicates both 
a continuity with and a break from the earlier period; rock music was no longer just for dancing. 
After 1964 the music was influenced by British groups such as the Beatles.

その部分に原因があるかと思っています。orz
