an area or a spot in a drawing, painting, or photograph that is strongly illuminate or an especially significant or interesting detail or event.
1. In the late 1940s C. Use of backbeat <span>occurred during the transformation of rhythm and blues into rock and roll. Using a beackbeat is based on making accent on 2-nd and 4-th beats in 4/4 rhythm. But the main change during the transformation r'n'b into rock'n'roll was that R'n'B became faster and more dynamic.
2. I think this is the answer: A. it decreased the popularity of rock music by African Americans. White rock'n'roll became popular because of Elvis Presley and Beach Boys. Elvis had very extraordinary appearance and style. His music was a bridge between classical blues, country and rock'n'roll, and his music was really popular among both young and old Americans.
3. I am definitely sure that A. rockabilly music was characterized by hiccupping gulping and stuttering vocals, slapping bass, and using a rhythmic guitar style, and was a combination of rock with country and western music. As I mentioned before Elvis' music was a bridge between country and rock'n'roll, so he was one of the pioneers of rockabilly music. I'd not call him the father of rockabilly, but he was one of the first and his music is a good example of this style.
4. If my memory serves me well this is the correct order: C. rockabilly, Motown, heavy metal, glam. Rockabilly - 1950's; Motown - 1960's; Heavy Metal - 1970's; Glam - end of 70's - 1980's
5. In my view this statement best describes a development in rock and roll music during the 1980's: </span><span>A. The second British invasion occurs. The first bands which have taken the stage were Def Leppard, Motley Crue and so on. Second British invasion refers to the music that became popular in the US in 1980's.
</span><span>
6. It's obvious, that B. The Beatles was the first to take America by storm, paving the way for other British groups. They were the leaders of the First British invasion that started in 1960's. It's still the one of the most popular bands of all time.
