But where did it come from? Rock began in the USA in the early 1950s. At that time, “rhythm and blue” music was very popular with black Americans. “R&B” was a mixture of black religious music and jazz. It had strong rhythms that you could dance to and simple, fast words. Noticing the success of R&B music, white musicians started to copy the same style. By the mid­1950s, this new white R&B music, called rock 'n' roll, had become very popular. Singers like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley attracted millions of teenage fans. Their music was fast and loud. Many older people thought that rock 'n' roll was very dangerous. By the early 1960s, even rock 'n' roll had become old­fashioned. Many of the songs had begun to sound the same. It was at that time a new group from England became popular — the Beatles. The Beatles first started by singing American style songs, but they soon developed their own style, with more complicated tunes. They also introduced different instruments. Groups like the Beatles had a very important influence on the style of popular music. By the early 1970s, rock 'n' roll had developed into a new form of music. Electronics had replaced the amplified (放大的) guitars and drums of rock 'n' roll. “Rock” had arrived. Rock music had continued to change and develop. It had combined with music from different parts of the world. Today, there are hundreds of different types of rock music, and almost every country has its own form of rock. 【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了摇滚乐的发展史。 1.
