6-Session Course
This course will focus on the 1950s rock and roll pioneers that influenced the rock explosion of the 60s. We will explore many of the decade's early music heroes including Chuck Berry (rhythm and blues) Elvis, (rockabilly), and The Everly Brothers (country pop). In addition, we will also survey other artists including Little Richard, Muddy Waters, Buddy Holly, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles and numerous others. Their influence became the template for 60s rock bands and paved the way for The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who and many others!
