-	In the early to mid-[[1960s]], soul music and R&B dominated American audiences. [[Girl groups]] ([[The Angels]] ("My Boyfriend's Back"), [[The Shirelles]] ("Dedicated to the One I Love") and [[blue eyed soul]] ([[The Righteous Brothers]] ("You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling"), [[Mitch Ryder]] ("Devil With a Blue Dress On")) helped to popularize the music as mainstream, as well as polishing it and removing the grit of gospel. With the popularity of Elvis and other white singers (like [[Gene Vincent]] ("[[Be-Bop-A-Lula]]"), [[Roy Acuff]] ("The Wreck on the Highway"), [[Jerry Lee Lewis]] ("Great Balls of Fire") and [[Chet Atkins]] ("Mr. Sandman"), as well as black vocalists like [[Little Richard]] ("[[Tutti Frutti]]"), [[Chuck Berry]] ("[[Johnny B. Goode]]"), [[Fats Domino]] ("The Fat Man") and [[Chubby Checker]] ("The Twist"), a new generation of teens began playing in their own rock bands. The 1960s also saw the arrival of Mexican-American pop, rock and soul acts that drew upon [[Tejano]] and other influences. These include [[Sunny Ozuna]] ("Talk to Me", "Reina de mi Amor"), [[Roberto Pulido y Los Clasicos]] and [[Latin Breed]].	+
