Fats Domino brought the back beat. A New Orleans bluesman his song "Fat Man" an adaption of a song about drug addicts called "Junker Blues"

By 1951 it became the first rock and roll album to sell over a million copies.

Domino defined rock and roll as "It wasn't anything but the same rhythm and blues I'd been playin' down in New Orleans."

Domino and his producer Dave Bartholomew added a second line beat found in pop today...The same second line syncopation you will find in any New Orleans drum line.

Domino's populartity he has 37 top 100 hits helped to usher in civil rights movements. Riots broke out four times at his integrated concerts.....Fats and his band often could not sleep in the same venue they played

Nothing like arguing about why everything about how we deliver health care in the US is systemically broken and favors corporations over people to get my morning going.
@JonathanTurley Calling confederate monuments were erected during " Lost Cause" era objectionable art kinda stretch...These statues were deliberate tools of white supremacy erected in response to the civil rights movement.

Chuck Berry gets the moniker of "father of Rock and roll"

In 1955 Chuck Berry recorded Maybeline which riffed off of Bob Willi's "Ida Red."

Berry took the lead from Charles Hogan and replaced the leading piano with a leading guitar. The same stop time and 4 beat bar that traces through blues and jazz.

Berry took the showmanship of T-Bone Waler and amplified the swagger. and wrote lyrics on  themes of commercialism, fast cars,  and youth that Post WWII America wanted.

Berry wanted to play blues so when he moved to Chicqo Muddy Waters introduced Chuck to Leanord Chess of Chess records (the big Chicago Blues label)...When Leanord heard Berry's Maybeline version of Ida Red though Leonard recognized something special.

Rock and Roll, with its roots in the Jazz of New Orleans and the slave plantations of Texas was born.
