Well okay, unregistere and all of you Blacks created Rock folks. Now usually I don't take alot of the stuff on wikipedia seriously, particularly concerning music, but there are some interesting things about Elvis on it that seem to have good verifiable references so look at what it says about Elvis......   Some black entertainers, notably  Jackie Wilson , countered, A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black manâs music, when in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied his stage mannerisms from Elvis. [74] j     Many of the other children made fun of him as a 'trashy' kind of boy playing 'trashy' hillbilly music. [22]  Huh?? The other kids made fun of young Elvis for playing trashy HILLBILLY music???But I thought he played Black music? Not HILLBILLY music;) .      The young Presley frequently listened to local radio;  his first musical hero was family friend  Mississippi Slim , a hillbilly singer with a radio show on Tupeloâs WELO.  Presley performed occasionally on Slimâs Saturday morning show,  Singinâ and Pickinâ Hillbilly . He was crazy about music... Thatâs all he talked about, recalls his sixth grade friend, James Ausborn, Slimâs younger brother. [29]  Before he was a teenager, music was already Presleyâs consuming passion. [29]  J. R. Snow, son of 1940s country superstar  Hank Snow , recalls that even as a young man Presley knew all of Hank Snowâs songs, even the most obscure. [30]     Well.....wudya know, Elvis's first musical hero was Mississippi Slim, a friend of the family and a HILLBILLY singer...interesting....Haven't I been saying all along that Rock N' Roll was hillbilly music, not Black music???     Now some people on here seem to think Elvis Presley was the first Rock N' Roll act, but Elvis didn't release his first album until 1956. Bill Haley and the Comets are recognized as being the first Rock N' Roll band, they started out as Bill Haley and the Saddlemen in 1950 but in 1952 changed their name to Bill Haley and the Comets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Haley_And_The_Comets  The 1954 Bill Haley and the Comets song Rock Around the Clock was the song responsible for popularizing Rock N' Roll in America. Now Rock Around the Clock had a very very similar sound to another song from 1947 called Move It On Over by Hank Williams. Many music historians consider this song to basically be the first Rock N' Roll song, even though Hank Williams was technically a Country singer  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Move_It_On_Over  If you listen to the song it sounds so similar to Rock Around the Clock (first Rock hit), in spots that it's almost bordering on plagarism. You can hear this song here at this link... http://search.playlist.com/tracks/ha...520on%2520over  and heres the best link I could dig up for Bill Haley and the Comet's Rock Around the Clock  http://search.playlist.com/tracks/ro...the%2520comets          PS- You will notice on the link I provided for Move It On Over, that the moron who put that song on there reversed the title of the song and the artist....:rolleyes: But it's still the right song.
