Black Rock musicians lexicon

Black Rock musicians lexicon The nomenclatures of Jump Blues and Blues Shouters are often , somewhat inaccurately, generically used to describe their individual styles.

This is a lexicon of Black Rock musicians that spans from the original creators of the Rock & Roll genre, beginning in 1940's, and includes contemporaneous (ethnically) Black Rock musicians. Contrary to what is often depicted, Rock & Roll actually began in the 1940's with notable musicians such as Louis Jordan, Wynonie Harris, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Big Joe Turner. Blues...as well as Jazz... are definitely components of their music. When listening to many of these songs it also becomes readily apparent that these songs are undeniably early Rock & Roll. These songs created the double entendres that are stable of Rock & Roll, and were among the first songs to include the vernacular usage of the words "Rock and Roll".
