In the 1950's, Rock 'n Roll was considered scandalous music. It was unlike any previous music. Elvis Presley was considered shocking for his music and his sensuality but especially because many people thought his hip movements were obscene or at least overtly sexual. Ed Sullivan had him on his TV Show but the cameras were only allowed to film him from the waist up. His mannerisms were nothing like today, he basically shook his hips from side to side.
