American Heartbeat: The 50s - OneDay DAY3CD 079 - (AudioCDs / Sonstiges)

Rhythm and Blues war früher »schwarze Musik«, wohingegen Countrymusik eindeutig als »weisse Musik« bezeichnet wurde. Aber als Elvis Presley mit seinem Hit ›That’s All Right‹ 1954 einen Hit landete, kam es mehr und mehr zur Fusion der Genres und Künstler bewegten sich offensichtlich zwischen vormals klargesteckten Linien. Elvis ebnete den Weg für neue Stile und Sounds, so daß Künstler wie Bo Diddley, Fats Domino und Chuck Berry in den 50ern in den Charts landeten.
