Comment

After World War II, black music was mostly still segregated. Blacks had their own radio stations, and their independent record labels were putting out blues music. Few white folks listened to black music on these records and radio stations and liked them for what they were. Fats Domino was the first black
musician to crossover in a major way with his boogie based style and non-threatening persona. Little Richard and Chuck Berry were crossing over with their unique blend of boogie woogie, and country music influence. Sam Phillips of Sun Records was recording black blues musicians but couldn't get the crossover hit he was looking for until Elvis Presley walked in his door.
