Freed, A.

...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.
