Rock N' Roll was created in America but the Brits took it to a whole new level. With bands like The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Clash, and of course The Beatles, to name just a few. What would rock n' roll be without these great British bands? They were very much influenced by the early pioneers of rock like Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly & Fats Domino, but they added their own creative musical talents to the sound of rock, making it edgier, harder and more complicated, hitting you in the face with great power chords and a rebellious attitude. The 60's in my opinion was the greatest decade for rock and roll thanks to the British Invasion, and The Beatles, the band from Liverpool, England, we're always leading the way, inspiring us with new musical possibilities, changing the course of rock music forever.Singer/songwriter/author Zara, originally from London, England, will be our special guest host on "What's It Called?"
