In the earliest rock and roll styles, either the piano or saxophone was typically the lead instrument

While elements of rock and roll can be heard in blues records from the 1920s it was not called rock until the 50's

Besides being  a musical style, rock and roll, as seen in movies, in fan magazines and on television, influenced lifestyles, fashion, attitudes, and language
