Almost all the stages in the early history of rock and roll were intuitive and affective. In the most spectacular moment for the development of this genre – in 1956 – no one was able to accurately verbalize musical experiences and emotions. New phenomena have not been linked to the tradition of the American subcultures, and no cultural or anthropological research has been undertaken. Therefore, the random, spontaneously improvised session in December 1956 with Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley constitutes a unique event. In the legendary Sun Records recording studio in Memphis, the white artists associated with the early rock revolution used music to tell a story about their roots and identity, “narrativize” the white and black tradition, but, most of all, they revealed the spiritual aspect of rock and roll – the rhythms and gospel emotions that lay at its foundation.
