 | | By the 1950s, all the forms of roots music had led to pop-oriented forms. |
 | | Folk musicians like the Kingston Trio, pop-Tejano and Cuban-American fusions like boogaloo, chachacha and mambo, blues-derived rock and roll and rockabilly, pop-gospel, doo wop and RandB (later secularized further as soul music) and the Nashville sound in country music all modernized and expanded the musical palette of the country. |
 | | Notable roots musicians include Old Crow Medicine Show, Ralph Stanley, Woody Guthrie, Son House, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Leadbelly, Hazel Dickens, Mahalia Jackson, Washington Phillips, Fiddlin' John Carson (1868 - 1949) and Jean Ritchie (b 1922). |
