Re: [FairfieldLife] Rock - where did it all start?
Rock emerged from boogie-woogie. The straight eights rock'n roll is attributed to a Kansas City boogie-woogie piano player who played some tunes in a straight eighth pattern rather than a shuffle. Also if you listen to the cakewalks of the late 19th century you'll hear the rhythm patterns that became essential in funk music. Music historians also believe that the blues came from the Muslim call for prayer which uses a similar scale.

Chuck Berry http://www.rwilliams.us/archives/images/berry.JPG One of the first Rock and Roll performances: You Can't Catch Me - 1956 http://youtu.be/bcblXxc4oqo Berry was among the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on its opening in 1986, with the comment that he laid the groundwork for not only a rock and roll sound but a rock and roll stance. Berry is included in several Rolling Stone Greatest of All Time lists, including being ranked fifth on their 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll included three of Chuck Berry's songs: Johnny B. Goode, Maybellene, and Rock and Roll Music.
