Rock n Roll music is a type of music that got started in the 1950's and 1960's. First, the music became popular in small clubs and on the radio. Later on, it started to expand more both positively and negatively. Teenagers in the 1950s and 60s listened to this type of music a lot, though many parents didn't approve of the dancing, naughty lyrics, and the loud and fast beat. In the beginning of this "golden age" of music, the instruments used included electrically amplified guitars, harmonicas, and drummers that emphasized after beats. Now as you can imagine, technology was not as advanced as it is today, so it sounded different of course, but was a very desired genre of music. Many artists you can recall from this era of music would be the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the cast from Grease, Elvis Presely, Little Richard, James Brown, and many more!
Above, you will find a video of the Beatle's cover of I'm Happy Just to Dance With You. This song is about the singer's love for a girl. It talks about how much he loves her, and how no one is ever going to take her place. It also talks about how happy he is to dance with her.
