Question

With american blues influences off course, still Can be consider this?

Answer 1

No, rock n roll actually started in the southern states of America, mainly Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Alabama; with a notable mention of Kentucky.

There were many countries and regions that influenced it though.

Answer 2

Sorry but Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry Invented Rock and Roll from the roots that Robert Johnson created.

All three are Americans, Rock came from America.

Answer 3

Darth Maul  is 100% RIGHT!!

Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry Invented Rock and Roll from the roots that Robert Johnson

And My favotite beand "The Rolling Stones were inf. by Chuck Berry and the american Blues like Robert Johnson and such.

Answer 4

As a Brit, I would love to say yes. But it started in the (southern) USA.

R&R is actually fusion music, a blend of country and blues.

We can perhaps claim a little credit, because country music comes from the English, Scots & Irish folk music that the early settlers brought to the new world. Blues & Jazz, of course was brought in by the African population.

I often wonder how come the UK, and Ireland has produced so many fine rock acts, but no decent country artists. Historically, it should be the other way around!

Answer 5

Rock and Roll started in the US with Elvis but I'd consider Beatles as the first rock band.

Answer 6

No sorry you are discounting Fats Domino, Little Richard, Buddy Holly and many more that came well before The Beatles, The Kinks, etc. Not only Americans, but Black Americans.

Answer 7

The Mississippi Delta is where Rock and Roll was born. Look at the Blues influence of Led Zep. The Fathers of the Blues were the Fathers of Rock and Roll. So no, the no matter how huge an influence the UK had on Rock, it was southern born and southern bred. Its made in America.

Answer 8

Absolutely Rock 'n' Roll is American.  Over time, however, the blues influences were stripped from it, and it became Rock, which was a much more 'white' style.  There are pretty good arguments that Rock is more British than American.

Answer 9

Well, some of the greatest bands were british. i'm British, so i would like to say so, but it's not necessarily true.

And, technically, there wouldn't be an America if English people didn't *find* it... lol

Answer 13

Rock and Roll was American music. It started with Bill Haley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley etc.

Beat music, later called pop(ular) music was British. This was what the Beatles started. Now if you're talking about heavy metal that's another story...

Answer 14

R&R was just another name for R&B. but as R&B included all popular black music . Blues shouters,jump blues,crooners,etc,apart from Jazz and Gospel it needed a new description. Alan Freed coined the expression in 51.

American music to the core.

Answer 15

No, America invented Rock n Roll in the 1940's. The term is black american slang for s*x.

Answer 16

No. Rock N' Roll was born in the U.S.

Answer 18
