 The initial response of the British music industry was to attempt to produce copies of American records, recorded with session musicians and often fronted by teen idols.More grassroots British rock and rollers soon began to appear, including Wee Willie Harris and Tommy Steele.During this period American Rock and Roll remained dominant; however, in 1958 Britain produced its first "authentic" rock and roll song and star, when Cliff Richard reached number 2 in the charts with "Move It".
