50's-60's
Rock
A Classic Rock & Roll, Tune First Written And Recorded By Chuck In The Late 50's And Since Recorded By Him And Many Other Artists On Nearly 300 Albums Thru The 00's
In its purest form, Rock & Roll has three chords, a strong, insistent back beat, and a catchy melody.  Early rock & roll drew from a variety of sources, primarily blues, R&B, and country, but also gospel, traditional pop, jazz, and folk.
All of these influences combined in a simple, blues-based song structure that was fast, danceable, and catchy.  The first wave of rock & rollers — Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Bill Haley, Gene Vincent, the Everly Brothers, and Carl Perkins, among many others — set the template for rock & roll that was followed over the next four decades.

Smooth Jazz
Fusion
Jazz
R&B
An Example Of "Smooth Jazz" Which As Quoted From AMG (All Music Guide):
Smooth Jazz is an outgrowth of fusion, one that emphasizes its polished side. Generally, smooth jazz relies on rhythms and grooves instead of improvisation. There are layers of synthesizers, lite-funk rhythms, lite-funk bass, elastic guitars, and either trumpets, alto, or soprano saxophones. The music isn't cerebral, like hard bop, nor is it gritty and funky like soul-jazz or groove — it is unobtrusive, slick, and highly polished, where the overall sound matters more than the individual parts
Smooth Jazz Falls Under The Sub-Category Of Fusion And The General Category Of Jazz
