what was the name of the very first rock & roll record?

Answer 1

Good question!
Wish there was a good answer.
See, it depends on what you are calling "rock&roll" ...
If you include the root forms (Blues, R&B, Bluegrass, Spirituals, Jazz, etc.) then you are getting into some very hazy territory.
Chuck Berry could be said to be the first great popularizer of Rock and Roll. He was born in 1926 and learned guitar while in his teens. In the late '40s and early '50s he was a member of a number of bar and club bands.
In 1955 Berry sent a demo to Chess Records and was signed. His debut single "Maybellene," became a US #1 R&B (Rhythm and Blues) hit and hit #5 on the US pop charts. One recording session alone produced the classics "Roll Over Beethoven," "Too Much Monkey Business" and "Brown-Eyed Handsome Man." He continued to have hits with: 1957's "School Days" and "Rock And Roll Music"; and 1958's "Sweet Little Sixteen," "Johnny B. Goode" and "Around And Around."
Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Rock and Roll, like most music genres, evolved over time. There was not one defining moment or song where it was invented. You will get various opinions as to who would label what record the "first" rock and roll, but most experts would agree with me that it was a movement that unfolded. Its roots include a blend of influences from big band, swing, pop, and even gospel, not to mention other styles of music. Several early influencers like Little Richard, Elvis, and a lot of now nearly unknown artists brought the movement along.
