The Making of Rock & Roll

Chuck Berry once said, "It used to be called boogie-woogie, it used to be called blues, used to be called rhythm and blues...It's called rock now." The makes of Rock & Roll music is a combination of country music and R&B. I never really thought about how the combination of previous popular music styles create what we listen to now. Even in the present day, the popular music we listen to everyday is come sort of combination of previous popular styled music. It is really interesting to think about how music today would not be anything without the music of yesterday. If the music that was most popular in the 1920's and 1930's and so on, then the popular music today would not even exist in my eyes. All music influences each other and I think that is the beauty of it. Even though music can be competitive between songs, artists, and albums, the more significant aspect is that they all influence and inspire one another.
