@mekkaokereke An incredible resource for music history is Andrew Hickey's "History of Rock Music in 500 Songs." https://500songs.com/ Highly recommend, it shows clearly how rock started as Black music and became co-opted by white musicians.

From this I learned many Black music styles we don't call rock today would have been called rock at the time; white writers in the 70s claimed the term for guitar driven white music and invented names like "girl groups" for groups like The Marvelettes.
