Summary
The groundwork for rock and roll is laid in post-WW2 America, as big band jazz converges with blues, strips down the instrumentation, and adds attitude. Empresario Johnny Otis helps a wild singer named “Big Mama” Thornton capture lightning on tape with the R&B hit “Hound Dog”, before it becomes a rock and roll smash for Elvis Presley. Thornton later connects with Muddy Waters, whose own electric moment in Chicago helped the formation of R&B.
