Quote: Is it possible for you to be more wrong? Elvis might have creeked the door open a little further, but the door was opened in the days of Jazz, long before he struck a note.
Prior to the rock and roll era, black musicians were largely segregated from white listeners.
Jazz was played in Harlem clubs, not on the radio.
It wasn't until rock and roll that you began to regularly hear "negro music" played on radio aimed for white teenagers.
