      Overview of Rock music

      Rock music emerged in the United States in the 1950s as a fusion of African American rhythm and blues, country and western, and gospel music. Its early pioneers, such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley, blended these genres to create a new sound that would challenge the social and cultural norms of the time.
