By (14) COMBINING black rhythm-and-blues music with white country blues, he created new styles of music and in the process re-invented wock-and-roll. It was considered remarkable and even revolutionary at a time when black and white Americans (15) LED separate lives and lived in great (16) MISTRUST of one another. Through music, he (17) BRIDGED a visiable gap between the two groups of Americans. To the youth of his generation, Elvis also (18) SYMBOLIZED rebelliousness and vitality. His influence (19) PEAKED in the 1950s but declined after the 1960s with the rise of other pop groups.
