Rock and roll music first became popular in the 1950s. There were many popular rock and roll singers during that time,but only a few of those singers are still popular. Most people today are familiar with the singer named Elvis Presley.
Elvis Presley sang different types of music. He sang country and blue music. He also sang music that you might hear in church，but it was rock and roll music that made Elvis very popular. In fact,the songs of Elvis became so famous that people gave the singer a special name. Everyone started to call him “the King of Rock and Roll”. Today many people still call him “the King” for short.
Other famous singers have also been given special names. Not everyone always agrees with their names,but many newspapers and magazines use the names. For example,in the 1980s pop music became famous,and Michael Jackson was the most popular singer. People thought that the pop music was really just one kind of rock and roll music,so they did not want to call Michael Jackson “the King”. Elvis was still the king. As a result，Michael Jackson was given the name “the Prince of Pop”. However,Michael Jackson was not the only famous pop singer in the 1980s. Madonna was also very popular. She was given the name “the Queen of Pop”. More than one woman has been called “the Princess of Pop”. Two of the most famous “Pop Princesses” are Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
It is interesting that no woman was ever named “the Queen of Rock and Roll”. There was a Queen of Disco and a Queen of Country Music,but never a Queen of Rock. Maybe in the years to come，a woman who is singing now will get that special name.
