KeithS SUBS ● 13th Dec 2015		Review This was a disappointment. Really a book for those who don't know a thing about Rock&Roll and haven't got any concentration span to read pages of text unless there are lots of pictures The whole story is told in the first 28 pages with plenty of references to much better books on the subject. "Nobody knows when Rock & Roll really began"....."Black music was segregated until white teenagers discovered that it was better than the watered down white versions"...."Bandstand "Southern singers sang something called Rockabilly" After about 25 pages of this, the rest of this quite thick book is devoted to "lists"..for example "Songs about Boy's Names" "Songs about the American West". And finally comes the obligatory alphabetical list of well known singers and groups with a brief description of what they did. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
