      @billtyler4440 > I also think so. "Rock 'n' Roll" is only that american rock from the 50s. That that came after is only "Rock Music" (or "Rock no Roll"). Rock 'n' Roll, Rock--Ballads, Doo-Wop, Rock-A-Billy, Calypso-Rock.

    Sweet Sue 97 Williams1 second agoHey, chill guys...I used to watch this show in the 50s, and Dick Clark would always ask the Guest Artist toward the end of the show to go backstage to get gum to hand out to the audience - black AND white artists. Everybody knew to expect it. And yes, I'm a huge Beatles fan, but you know what - back in the day Dick most certainly would have asked John, Paul, George and Ringo to hand out gum, too. It was all part of the fun of the Saturday night Beechwood Hour!! Sheesh.....
