In what year did the Legends die?
On this page you will find in chronological order, starting with the first rock and roll pioneers in the 1930s and the years and dates they left us for that huge concert stage in the sky. Obviously in the early years of rock and roll the “death toll” among legends was low – for 1961 I couldn’t even find a listing. But then in recent years, with many of our early rock heroes in their late sixties and early seventies, the numbers are way up. The listings have a link to a tribute page with data of their life and accomplishments.
=========================================
1938 – 1969
Rock and Roll as a music genre did not really arrive on the scene until the late 1940s, early 1950s, along with the post World War II baby boomer generation. As such it became a force that drove the culture that transformed the world. It can be argued that Cyberspace and Globalization where direct results from a music culture that found a global audience. In addition Amplification took the guitar from being just another rhythm instrument to the forefront of music making.
Early superstar performers were blues guys like Jimmy Rodgers, Robert Johnson and Lead Belly, followed by popular rockers Bill Haley, Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly who took the old songs from the cotton fields and inner cities in the US and turned them into rock and roll arrangements. It became the sound track of a generation. The exact date that rock came into existence is of course not recorded, as the music evolved. Some of the roots musicians that created rock and roll, such as Ike Turner, sadly never really received the recognition due.
When Buddy Holly perished in a 1959 airplane crash, he “officially” became the first rocker to be eligible for the Band of Legends. Since that day when “the music died” many have gone, and if we’d ever by any chance of luck can get backstage passes to any of their Rock and Roll Paradise performances in the hereafter, dying – even the thought of it – would become a whole lot easier. And when the British Invasion took their cues from the old cotton fields and added some blues rock guitar riffs to the arrangements, we had a music on our hands that defined the culture of our generation.
The only legends with a listing here before Buddy Holly are Jimmy Rodgers, Huddy Ledbetter, better know as Lead Belly, Robert Johnson, Sonny Boy Williamson and Django Reinhardt for reasons of major influence on the genre and its later legends.
