Elvis didn't create rock-n-roll. He made rock-n-roll big! Rock-n-roll is made up of different types of music together. Chuck Berry sung it and it was a black audiance that listene. Elvis was the firstt White person to sing that music "black music" He brought together black and white fans.

Back in the 50s radio seldom played black music. It was common practice for a white artist to cover a song recorded by r & b artists, and that is the version of the song that recieved the most airplay. Elvis came along and sort of burned down some of the barriers that had been in place, and paved the way for black performers to be heard.
