Dee Doubleyu's definitions

rock 'n' roll

A type of contemporary music that came out of blues, or more likely rhythm & blues (R&B). The addition of country & western music completed the formula that forwarded this "new" music to its own dimension.

Elvis & Jerry Lee Lewis are the best example of original Rock 'n'Roll while Little Richard & Fats Domino are good examples of where the music came from.
