There were no rock 'n' roll songs in the 1940s. The birth of rock 'n' roll music happened in the mid-1950s. Rock 'n Roll is held to have been born when Rock Around the Clock became the national #1 in June of 1955. But there was plenty of Proto-Rock in the Late Forties. Check out Wynonie Harris, he was probably the best of the bunch. And the Proto-Rock of the early Fifties, like Jackie Branston, The Crows, and The Chords, is quite good, and well worth a listen.
