Johnson (1936) Tempo: 88 beats per minute, 4 beats per bar Form: 12-bar blues played freely with occasional added and missing beats Features: voice and acoustic guitar, and uneven beat subdivisions Lyrics: Images include a lonely black man “flagging a ride,” an illusion to darkness and a curfew, no one stopping, and his failure to connect with a woman. 1-7

The Beginnings of Rock and Roll Magnetic tape recorders improved recorded sound Overdubbing used Performers lip sync to recordings on television in 1950s Technological developments in 1948, more available by mid-50s: Transistor radios, light and easy to carry 33 1/3 rpm long-playing (LP) records 45 rpm single records Jukeboxes played 45 rpm single records when coins were dropped in Radio stations playing black rhythm and blues Televisions common in homes during the 1950s Alan Freed helped promote r&b on radio and in live concerts 1-9

Discussion questions To what degree did early rock music depend on sociological changes as distinct from technological developments? What were some of those sociological changes and how did they help create and popularize rock music? How might the blues be different if slavery had never existed and African Americans had been welcomed immigrants in the United States? 1-10
