Rock music today is universal & its popular history is well known. Yet few know how & why it really came about. Taking a fresh look at events long overlooked or misunderstood, this book tells how some of the most disenfranchised people in a free and prosperous nation strove to make themselves heard—and changed the world.

Describing the genesis of rock & roll, the author covers everything from its deep roots in the Mississippi Delta, key early figures, like deejay "Daddy-O" Dewey Phillips & gospel star Sister Rosetta Tharpe, & the influence of so-called "holy rollers" of the Pentecostal church who became crucial performers—Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis & Little Richard.
