Abstract
My purpose in this chapter is to focus on the ways that the rock’n’roll rhythm was reworked, providing the basis for the characteristic beat of the beat groups. I shall then go on to discuss how, in the so-called Swinging Sixties, music hall returned not directly in the songs of the early twentieth century but in the stylings of many songs of groups such as the Who and the Rolling Stones who are often thought of as marking a break with that earlier period and accepting and reworking American traditions. This reassertion of English tradition is nowhere more obvious than in the songs of the Kinks, the compositions of Ray Davies.
