Music is the American Dream

Every book on the history of rock and roll mentions that the word "rock" comes from the sexually suggestive slang term "Rock'n'Roll" uttered by a DJ while playing a Chuck Berry song on the radio station. .

Before the word "rock" was born, they played the blues. Among them, Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Howling Wolf, Etta James, Willie Dixon under the Chess record company founded by Leonard Chess... Chess brought these musicians and singers from the streets and alleys into the The recording studio that made them famous and opened a Cadillac.

As the "prehistoric figures" of rock and roll, the artists of the day were simple and straightforward, they didn't become stars for the sake of being "stars." Music for them means more money and a new Cadillac, music is the American dream.
