It's assumed here that rock is derived from blues

EDIT : Blues is blues, which is obviously black.

Blues is the plural of blue which is a different color from black according to modern color theory

How much time do you have, ha?

This is one of the most well researched pieces of work I've ever come across. Like somebody's PhD dissertation. A ten year project for the author. I can't recommend it enough.

So just to throw some names out there of white people who significantly influenced rock music: Johnny Otis, Bob Wills, Cosimo Matassa.

Seriously, check out this podcast you're interested in this stuff. I think it's on other platforms if you don't have Spotify.
