No, it originated in America, when white performers began imitating black performers (in a natural way, not in a theatrical or comical way), and black performers made more music for white listeners. Country, blues and jazz merged, and the mix became rock-n-roll. British sailors visiting the US heard the music, and carried records of it back with them.
