A common misconception is that rock started in the late 50s and early 60s with Elvis Prestley and The Beatles. In fact, Rock is an offshoot of Blues and Jazz of the 40s and 50s when singers such as Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, and musicians such as B.B. King emerged. They served to influence early rock legends including Jim Morisson of the Doors, Janis Joplin and her band Big Brother and the Holding Company, as well as Jimi Hendrix.
