Get ready to rock out with Mira and Finn on History's Not Boring!
Have you ever wondered where your favorite upbeat, jump-around
music comes from? To find the true inventors of rock and roll, we
have to travel all the way back to America in the 1940s and
1950s! Before there were massive stadium concerts, brilliant
Black musicians took rhythm and blues, gospel, and country music
and mixed them together into a brand new, electrifying sound!
Discover how Sister Rosetta Tharpe shredded on the electric
guitar like nobody before her! Learn how Chuck Berry wrote the
legendary hit "Johnny B. Goode" and totally invented the guitar
solo! Hear the wild story of Little Richard screaming "Tutti
Frutti" and changing the way singers perform forever! We'll also
meet Fats Domino, Bo Diddley, and Ray Charles, who added
incredible gospel and soul to the mix. Then, a Memphis truck
driver named Elvis Presley brought this amazing new sound to
white radio stations, shocking parents but electrifying kids
everywhere! Finally, see how this amazing music inspired a band
of four lads from Liverpool called the Beatles! Grab your air
guitar and tune in!
