How useful is the production of culture perspective in understanding the Birth of Rock and Roll?

The production of a cultural perspective is a powerful thing and is some ways what people base their opinions on themselves. It can be broken down for us to see its effects on our culture and more importantly our society.
Rock and Roll is said t be founded by the likes of Elvis Presley, Bill Haley and Joe Turner, but, this is an example of 'cultural perspective', its just a point of view. It may well be the case that these talented musicians were the founders of the genre but to a certain extent we still have to see that it could be a 'cultural perspective' from that time, we will never really know what went on behind the scenes.
In order to understand the 'Birth of Rock and Roll' it is necessary to produce a cultural perspective as a way (even though it is only an opinion) for the rest of us to get an understanding of what took place and how the genre of music came about.
