The Mussel Shoals in Northern Alabama has always been a musical hub where rock and roll'ers and soul artists have met to produce and listen to each other's music.
Soul and blues is the inspiration for modern rock and roll. Go talk to Jimmy Page or Robert Plant and see what they tell you.

Ok, listen, i agree with you about the "roots" of Rock....Keith Richards made a good little living borrowing from blues......But is she rock, your own qoute talks about "soul" music...just because rock grew out of blues et al. does not mean that blues et al. musician are by extension rock musicians.
One guy that did bridge the "gap" gap was Ottis Redding.
