Document Summary
Black pop, reggae, and the rise of disco. When rock and roll emerged in the mid-1950s, it was controversial for a number of reasons. Rock and roll challenged white middle-class values: blending of rhythm and blues and country and western. Rock and roll acted as a force for breaking down racial and cultural barriers. Sly and the family stone: sly crosses over. Changes brought by sly"s music inspired an entire generation of drunk and pop: groups like the temptations to the jackson 5 and the osmonds. Sly stone (sylvester stewart) was born in texas and moved to san francisco as a child. Disc jockey and record producer by the mid-1960s. The band stood out because of its distinctive musical blend and it was one of the few racially and sexually integrated bands of the era. In sly"s wake: ohio players, kool and the gang, and earth, wind, and fire.
