Тhе 4950s
Rock and roll began in the 1950s in America. Some of its first stars were black. They brought traditional rhythm and blues to people. Then white singers appeared and the most popular of them was Elvis Presley.
Тhе A960s
After Elvis, hundreds of groups and singers came and disappeared. But The Rolling Stones and The Beatles were the most popular. The Rolling Stones offered aggressive rock. The Beatles or the Fab Four (fab is from fabulous) made a breakthrough in pop and rock because they took all that was good about early rock, and changed it into something original and even more exciting. The Beatles entered the world charts in 1962. Their music was everywhere and the group toured the world with great success. They recorded and released 12 albums and their recordings sold by the millions! They are still worth listening to. Their young fans know the lyrics and the tunes of their songs.
Тhе 1970s — Тhе 1980s
The history of pop and rock continued. In the 70s there came Elton John, David Bowie, Rod Stewart and Queen. The most important event of the 80s was “Live Aid”. It was a huge rock concert with many of the world’s stars and it was organised to raise money for African children.
In the 80s, musical technology changed. Some bands began to use electronic instruments called synthesizers.
Тhе 1990s
Techno music and all kinds of dance music were very popular. Boy bands and girl bands like The Backstreet Boys and The Spice Girls made their way to the stage.
Тhе 2000s
