British rock and roll British rock and roll, or sometimes British rock 'n' roll, is a style of popular music based on American rock and roll, which emerged in the late 1950s and was popular until the arrival of beat music in 1962. It has generally been considered inferior to the American version of the genre, and made little international or lasting impact. However, it was important in establishing British youth and popular music culture and was a key factor in subsequent developments that led to the British Invasion of the mid-1960s. Origins[edit] History[edit] Tommy Steele, one of the first British rock and rollers, performing in Stockholm in 1957 The initial response of the British music industry was to attempt to produce exact copies of American records. Decline and revivals[edit] British rock and roll declined sharply in the face of the new beat music after 1962. Influence[edit] References[edit] ^ Jump up to: a b c d e f g h i R.

The Vinyl Years - A history of the music industry : 1950's | Vinyl Years | 1940's | 1950's | 1960's | 1970's | 1980's | 1990's | A history of the music industry : 1950's As our journey continues into the 1950's several important standards were set in the production and distribution of vinyl recordings. In 1950 RCA introduced the first 12 inch LP, followed in 1951 by the introduction of the 7" single. Both standards that still exist for vinyl recordings to this day. So with the birth of Rock 'n' Roll, the new standard of the 7 inch single would become the iconographic image around which the new Rock 'n' Roll music took it's physical form. In 1953 Elvis made his first studio recordings, cutting a personal disc in the now infamous Sun Studios in Memphis. With The BBC beginning broadcasting in FM for the first time in 1955 and stereo vinyl becoming the dominent media of all recorded music, the new era of Rock 'n' Roll saw in a new era of quality in music delivery. << Back to the 1940's | On to the 1960's >>
1960's Music Decade Overview 88pianokeys | it's not all black and white 1960's Music played in the 60's Bands groups singers memories from The People History Site The 1960's were a time of upheaval in society, fashion, attitudes and especially music. Before 1963, the music of the sixties still reflected the sound, style and beliefs of the previous decade and many of the hit records were by artists who had found mainstream success in the 1950s, like Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Dion, and The Everly Brothers. In 1963 and the years to follow, a number of social influences changed what popular music was and gave birth to the diversity that we experience with music today. The assassination of President Kennedy, the escalation of the war in Vietnam and the forward-progress of the Civil Rights Movement all greatly impacted the mood of American culture and the music began to reflect that change. The "British Invasion" also began around 1963 with the arrival of The Beatles on the music scene and the type of rabid fandom that followed them would change the way people would view and interact with music and musicians forever.
