well all music really but mostly jazz or the blues In the beginning, only three kinds of music, really: Country, Rhythm 'n Blues, and Pop. The Jazz influence was really not that big, just a little Swing.
Blues influenced rock and roll. African American's ability to tell stories orally also helped influence rock and roll in the United States.

Rock and Roll originated in the United States during the 1950s. Elements of rock and roll can be seen in blues records as far back as the 1920s. This music was later on spread throughout the world and influenced lifestyles, fashion, attitudes, and language.
