Who was the first person to invent rock music?

Answer 1

One does not "invent" a music style. R&B evolved from the music of the Mississippi River, which began as blues, then jazz, then gospel, then rock. Elvis Presley is largely credited for popularizing it.

Answer 2

There is no answer for sure on who invented Rock Music but Thrash Metal (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax) was invented by James Hetfield and Dave Mustaine sometime in 1980-81.

Screw that up there were asking bout rock not stupid thrash metal you person who thinks there smart

well We know with some certainty who coined the term "Rock'n'Roll": disk jockey Alan Freed. Freed was significant in that he brought music written by black performers to white audiences, as the music industry was just as racially divided as the rest of American society. He renamed his radio show to "Moon Dog's Rock and Roll Party" in 1951, borrowing the words "rock" and "roll" from song lyrics by black rythym and blues artists.

There are many performers and groups who have been credited with creating rock'n'roll. In fact, it was a slow evolution out of many musical styles, particularly those from black musicians. Dance was always figured largely in early rock'n'roll music. Choices include:

- Louis Jordan, a saxophone player, whose work bridged big band music, rythym and blues, and rock and roll.

- Arthur Crudup, a blues guitarist, whose work includes "Rock Me Mama" (1944) and, later, inspired Elvis.

- Dean Collins, a white dancer, who helped bring black styles of music and dance (jazz and rythym and blues) to white audiences during the 1940s.

- The Orioles, "It's Too Soon to Know", 1948.

- Jackie Brenston and the Delta Cats, "Rocket 88", 1951.

Other contenders include Fats Domino, Little Richard, and Chuck Berry (black performers) and Elvis Presley, Bill Haley and the Comets, Carl Perkins, and Buddy Holly (white performers).

Answer 3

No one person has came up with rock music. It developed from many different groups and people. Some say that the big band groups (ones with many orchestral, woodwind, brass, and string instruments) simply became smaller and smaller.
