Description
The first rock 'n' roll record - a question that has sparked debate among music historians. This book sets out to answer it by nominating 50 recordings for the title, from a 1944 Jazz at the Philharmonic recording to Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel". The authors provide detailed information on each nominee, including chart positions and labels, as well as their own explanations of why they might qualify as the first.
