A litle of Rockabilly

"Rockabilly" usually (but not exclusively) refers to the type of rock and roll being played and recorded in the mid 1950s by white singers like Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, which drew mainly on the roots country music. Many other rock and roll singer popular time, such as Fats Domino and Little Richard, black rhythm and blues tradition, making the music attractive to white audiences, and are not generally classified as "rockabilly."In July 1954, Elvis Presley recorded the regional hit "That's All Right (Mama)" at Sam Phillips' Sun Studio in Memphis. Three months earlier, April 12, 1954, Bill Haley & His Comets recorded "Rock Around the Clock". Although only a minor hit on first release, when used in the opening sequence of the film Blackboard Jungle, a year later, he was really a rock and roll boom in motion. This song became one of the most successful in history, and frenzied teens flocked to see Haley and the Comets perform it, causing riots in several cities. "Rock Around the Clock" is a breakthrough for both groups and the whole rock and roll. If everything that came before laid the groundwork, "Rock Around the Clock" to introduce music to a global audience.

In 1956, the arrival of rockabilly is underlined by the success of songs like "Folsom Prison Blues" Johnny Cash "Blue Suede Shoes" Perkins and "Heartbreak Hotel" by Presley. In recent years are the most commercially successful forms of rock and roll. Then rockabilly acts, especially to songwriters such as Buddy Holly, will be a major influence on British Invasion acts and especially the songwriting of the Beatles and through them the nature of rock music later.
