The Rolling Stones — rock Formed in 1962, the Rolling Stones became one of rock's most definitive bands.

Elvis Presley’s ability to blend blues, country, and gospel was rooted in his diverse musical upbringing and his collaboration with producer Sam Phillips at Sun Records.12

Presley drew from several sources: he listened to the radio, attended Pentecostal church services, participated in group sings at a Black church in Memphis, and frequented Beale Street blues clubs. By combining these influences with Tin Pan Alley ballads, he developed a unique musical personality.2

In 1954, while working with guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley achieved a breakthrough by reinterpreting blues singer Arthur Crudup’s "That’s All Right Mama". This synthesis, later known as rockabilly, retained the emotional inflections of the blues while utilizing Presley’s high tenor voice and a more supple, rhythmic groove. This approach allowed him to merge Black and white musical traditions into a complex, influential style that defined the early era of rock and roll.231
