By 1954 white groups were covering popular black rhythm-and-blues recordings.
White group Bill Haley and His Comets first record Rock Around the Clock in April.
Elvis Presley records That's Alright Mama, covering black musician Arthur Big Boy Crudup's song. Elvis's version combined country with rhythm-and-blues contributing to the development of the rockabilly sound.
