Walk On By: the Story of Popular Song

on BBC Two England

Continuing the series on the evolution of popular music. The Road to Rock 'n' Roll. When Elvis Presley made his explosive debut and introduced the world to rock 'n' roll in 1956, he seemed to come from nowhere. But far from being a bolt from the blue, the seductive sound of rock 'n' roll was the product of a process of musical evolution that had been taking place in America's Deep South for at least 50 years. Clive Owen narrates. See Choice.
