The 1950s were an awesome time for music. And when rock and roll crossed paths with television, it blew the doors off of post-war America and changed everything it touched. These artists built the foundation of modern music and you can still hear their influence on artists 70 years later. Elvis. Chuck Berry. Buddy Holly. And more.
But the story isn’t all sock hops and poodle skirts. The history of early rock and roll also contains stories of tragedy, scandal, and racism that ended this early era as quickly as it started.
On today’s episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we’re taking a look at the beginning of rock music and the 1950s.
