Description
What is rock ‘n roll? It’s a musical genre difficult to define. What’s the difference between ‘rock’ and ‘pop’? From the roots of swing, blues and country music of the late 1940s, a new kind of explosive sound began to emerge. Post-World War II prosperity brought with it a restlessness in youth culture. Join us as we discuss pioneers of this musical phenomenon, people like Little Richard, Bill Haley, Chuck Berry and Elvis. Let’s not forget American Bandstand. And the women…something else to examine? Bring your memories (dancing shoes optional).
