Abstract

It9s been four decades since a young man from Tupelo, Miss., took the lead in introducing American youth to a raucous music called rock 9n9 roll. In the mid-1950s, radio stations began playing his music endlessly, and parents worried about the effects it would have on their enthralled youngsters. Then the young man made his TV debut in an early and primitive marriage of music and visuals that would eventually evolve into the music video concept. Parents watched in stunned silence as the man with the slicked-back hair strutted and gyrated his hips in a sexually suggestive manner.
