In the time when blacks could not go into white restrooms, restaurants, or stores; whites were listening to black music. The two most popular of the time was Rythm & Blues and Rock-n-Roll. Rythm and Blues is a combination of Dixieland Jazz, Delta Blues, and the blues that was playing in the north. Rock-N-Roll is a combination of Rythm &Blues, and Country and Western. Rythm and Blues were on the top of the pop charts and records were selling in the millions. In Rock-N-Roll there were white singers who learned how to sing this "Black music" by listening to black blues singers of eariler times. Singers like Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, and Jerry Lee Lewis were selling millions of records and topping the charts with Rock-N-Roll songs. Albums helped along these two kinds of music because the audience usually could not tell if the singers were black or white. This would be a big factor for music in the 1960's.
