To begin with American popular music; Blues, Jazz, Country, Rock, R&B, RAP, and Hip-Hop, are loved, studied, and cherished world wide. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Tom Jones, Dave Clark 5, and many others.


Rock and Roll grew from the melding of Black Rhythm and Blues with Country and Western. Artists like Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper introduced Rock and Roll to the "mainstream" youth in the early 1950's legendary Elvis Presley bursted on the scene in the middle 1950's.

Rhythm and Blues (R&B) From New Orleans Jazz, to the Motown Sound, to Urban Hip-Hop and Rap, black music roots directly from Jazz, Ragtime, and the old black Gospel and Spritual standards.

Country and Western music roots in the old folk songs and cowboy music,from Nashville and the Grand Ole Opray.

The 1980's and 1990's Mexican influence swept into American Music. Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Mexican added their music to the mix.

Putting it all together- The beat of Rock and Roll became the dominant force of American music. Today America's Music does what it always has done, bring people together. In American Music every aspect of life, etnicity, and culture is merged, mixed, and highlighted.
