...Listening to the music of Haley and Presley, it is easy to sense that they were fusing the three elements of rhythm and blues, country music, and popular songs. It is said that it was radio disc jockey Alan Freed (who himself appeared in "The School of Violence") who first called the new music that was born in this way "Rock and Roll." In addition, Elvis Presley and other artists 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 showed 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. *Some of the terminology that mentions "Freed, A." is listed below.

…ヘーリーとプレスリーの音楽を聞けば,彼らがリズム・アンド・ブルース,カントリー・ミュージック,ポピュラー・ソングの3要素を融合していたことは容易に感じ取れる。 こうして生まれてきた新しい音楽を〈ロック・アンド・ロール〉と呼びはじめたのは,ラジオのディスク・ジョッキーをしていたアラン・フリードAlan Freedだとされている(彼自身も《暴力教室》に出演した)。また,プレスリーや彼に続いて現れた《ブルー・スウェード・シューズBlue Suede Shoes》のカール・パーキンズCarl Perkins(1932‐ ),《ホール・ロッタ・シェーキン・ゴーイング・オンWhole Lotta Shakin’ Going On》のジェリー・リー・ルイスJerry Lee Lewis(1935‐ )などがいずれも南部のカントリー音楽の要素を強くもっていたことから,彼らの音楽をロックとヒルビリーhillbillyの合成語で〈ロカビリーrockabilly〉と呼び,《アイル・ビー・ホームI’ll Be Home》のパット・ブーンPat Boone(1934‐ )や《ダイアナDiana》のポール・アンカPaul Anka(1941‐ )のようにポピュラー・ソングに近い感覚を示した歌手たちの音楽を,ロックとバラードの合成語で〈ロカバラードrock‐a‐ballad〉と呼ぶようになった。… ※「Freed,A.」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
