TERMINOLOGY: THE ROCK AND ROLL

The term "rock and roll" now has at least two different meanings, both in common usage. The American Heritage Dictionary[12] and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary[13] both define rock and roll as synonymous with rock music. Encyclopædia Britannica, on the other hand, regards it as the music that originated in the mid-1950s and later developed "into the more encompassing international style known as rock music".[8]
The phrase "rocking and rolling" originally described the movement of a ship on the ocean,[14] but was used by the early twentieth century, both to describe the spiritual fervor of black church rituals[15] and as a sexual analogy. Various gospel, blues and swing recordings used the phrase before it became used more frequently – but still intermittently – in the 1940s, on recordings and in reviews of what became known as "rhythm and blues" music aimed at a black audience.[15]
In 1934, the song "Rock and Roll" by the Boswell Sisters appeared in the film Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round. In 1942, Billboard magazine columnist Maurie Orodenker started to use the term "rock-and-roll" to describe upbeat recordings such as "Rock Me" by Sister Rosetta Tharpe.[16] By 1943, the "Rock and Roll Inn" in South Merchantville, New Jersey, was esta[17] In 1951, Cleveland, Ohio disc jockey Alan Freed began playing this music style while popularizing the phrase to describe it.[18]
