It wasn't long before both camps came together and colored the sound of rock in the late '60s and early '70s, capping off a decade of unprecedented blues popularity among whites. Musical highlights include recordings by Led Zeppelin, Cream, the Rolling Stones, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, the Allman Brothers Band, Janis Joplin, and Johnny Winter. A surprise artist demonstrates how the blues permeated all of rock music at the time.
