Rock & Roll was a genre of music from the 40s/50s that combined an African American style of jazz, and R&B, to country music. Often, Elvis Presley is credited with bringing the genre to fame, by, basically being the Jacob Sautarius of the 50s. Every teenage girl was in LOVE with him.
"Rocket 88" by Jackie Brenston is often said to be the first Rock n Roll song.
Buddy Holly, Ray Charles, and Ike Turner are also very important figures of the early Rock n Roll era.

He is well known for his depictions of the American flag and other US-related topics. He was also was an American painter, sculptor and printmaker whose work is associated with abstract expressionism, Neo-Dada, and pop art.
Between 1200 and 400 B.C., the Gulf Coast states of Veracruz and Tabasco in Mexico were the setting for a major cultural and artistic florescence among peoples now collectively known as Olmec, named after the Aztec word for the region (Olman, “place of rubber”). Olmec art is best known for colossal sculpture in volcanic stone and intricate works in jade, both media that were imported from faraway regions. Olmec artists were revolutionary for their time, establishing the first major widespread styles in Mesoamerica, laying the foundation for later innovation from the central Mexican metropolis of Teotihuacan south to the Maya area.
After the spread of maize agriculture in the Early Formative period (ca. 1800–1200 B.C.), people in the river valleys of Olman cooperated to construct monumental earthen platforms and mounds at the site of San Lorenzo, Veracruz. More research is needed to know about the society at San Lorenzo: for example, what they ate, where they lived, what they believed. They shared the common goal to invest in major building projects, engineering structures and creating large gathering spaces that transcended the functional needs of daily life. Evidence from the nearby site of El Manatí demonstrates that people were creating sculptures out of wood and stone early in San Lorenzo’s history. Rubber balls found at El Manatí are also some of the earliest evidence for the importance of a ballgame to Olmec peoples.
