Was Buddy Holly the real Father of Rock and Roll?
Did blues and jazz together also influence rock n roll?
Elvis recorded a little ahead of him, so I guess he would still be considered the father, but Buddy Holly's DIY everyman approach to Rock N' Roll lead to artists like Elvis Costello, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Kinks, and most importantly the Beatles. His death also had a profound influence on music, because it was like a hard sobering to the punch drunk excitement of music in that era.
The blues is the father of every form of American music in the last 100 years. It is the father of rock, jazz, bluegrass, and country. Jazz is a bit more of a brother to rock than a parent, as rock music is usually about tight songwriting and jazz is mainly about improvisation.
If you want to hear some the earliest and best recordings of delta blues, I suggest you listen to Robert Johnson: The Complete Recordings. So talented a music was he, that Eric Clapton admits to having trouble playing his songs.
