biggest changes involved music. Before these days black people listened to their music and
white people listened to theirs. Elvis Presley was the first star of rock and roll, and the
man behind the music revolution. Elvis took music from both blacks and whites and made
it into one colorless genre. He mixed blues, country, and gospel music to make what we
call rock and roll. Presley became very popular star and idol to many young men and to
some young women. His music, complemented by his smooth swagger and slick style
attracted the eyes of many teenage girls. Presley�s fame and riches also made him a role
model to teenage boys. Although rock and roll was very popular during the �Fab Fifties,�
there were many other names and faces that changed the music industry, such as Nat King
Cole and Frank Sinatra.
