First sentence: In tracing the history of rock and roll, it is useful to distinguish rock 'n' roll-the particular kind of music to which the term was first applied-both from rock and roll-the music that has been classified as such since rock 'n' roll petered out around 1958-and from rock, which describes post-1964 derivations of rock 'n' roll.
