Yet few know how and why it really came about. Taking a fresh look at events long overlooked or misunderstood, this book tells how some of the most disenfranchised people in a free and prosperous nation strove to make themselves heard--and changed the world. Describing the genesis of rock and roll, the author covers everything from its deep roots in the Mississippi Delta, key early figures, like deejay \"Daddy-O\" Dewey Phillips and gospel star Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and the influence of so-called \"holy rollers\" of the Pentecostal church who became crucial performers--Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46469317329047,"sku":"9781476662299","price":1954.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781476662299.jpg?v=1766220308","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/devils-music-holy-rollers-and-hillbillies-how-america-gave-birth-to-rock-and-roll-9781476662299","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
