"Everyone knows that rock and roll is derived from the blues, but U.K. music writer and critic Hugh Gregory aims to trace that trajectory by showing how R&B music of the '30s and '40s led directly to the rock of the '50s and '60s. Tracing the artistic, cultural and political currents that brought about the R&B movements and profiling its most influential artists, from the still-adored B.B. King and Tina Turner to largely forgotten pioneers such as Mamie Smith and Louis Jordan, The Real Rhythm and Blues bridges the gap between early 20th-century Delta Blues and rock and roll."--Publishers Weekly.
