yes. I think the real creators of rock 'n roll are black performers. They wrote the songs, they were released by them at first, but tanked. But then, they were re-recorded by WHITE performers, and were successful! That held performers like Little Richard, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry(even though he was successful, his debut was supposed to be released earlier, such is the case with the rest of the aforementioned artists) and Bo Diddly back. If it weren't for the racism then, i guarantee you Elvis wouldn't be as touted as he is now. Not to say he isn't important--he is. He popularized the genre, gave it to the masses, and also introduced that "contraversial" edge to rock that still exists to this day. But musically......he's overrated.
