Modern rock music I feel started with Louis Jordan. Mostly out of necessity because it became too costly to tour with big bands. He had the foresight to cut his band down to 6 or so guys and was able to change the music business. Then guys like Wynonie Harris came along and rock and roll was officially born!
The five years of Rock'nRoll before it went mainstream, are the best,imo.
A very early rock tune! (1949!)
