2. Formation and evolution of rock. At the beginning of the 1960s, pop
and rock and roll trends of the 1950s continued. By the mid-1960s,
rock and roll in its purest form was gradually overtaken by pop rock,

The 1960s saw funk and soul music rising in popularity; rhythm and
blues in general remained popular.

electric guitar and thunderous beat.
