Perkins, C. (English spelling) PerkinsC

...It is said that it was radio disc jockey Alan Freed (who himself appeared in The School of Violence) who first called this new music "rock and roll." In addition, Presley and those who followed him, such as Carl Perkins (1932-), with "Blue Suede Shoes," and Jerry Lee Lewis (1935-), with "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On," all had strong elements of southern country music, so their music came to be called "rockabilly," a compound word of rock and hillbilly, while the music of singers who had a sensibility closer to popular songs, such as Pat Boone (1934-), with "I'll Be Home," and Paul Anka (1941-), with "Diana," came to be called "rock-a-ballad," a compound word of rock and ballad. As a result of this diversification and the creation of various derivative words, by the 1960s it had become common to use the term "rock" to refer to all of these genres, and "rock 'n' roll" to refer to the early rock music of the mid-1950s.
