Skiffle, a blend of jazz, blues, and folk music, gained popularity in the UK in the 1950s, thanks to artists like Lonnie Donegan. The genre's simple and accessible style resonated with young musicians, including John Lennon, who formed the skiffle band Quarrymen before founding The Beatles. American rock and roll songs were essential to the skiffle repertoire, shaping the early sound of British rock and roll.
