Pretty much in the 1950′s with people like Bill Haley and the Comets, Chuck Berry etc. For more info look up Rock N Roll on wikipedia.

good question – im guessing it was happening simultaneously, with rockabilly and skiffle bands turning into rock roll, by changing the rhythm.
i’m not sure, but i think bill haley and the comets was the first rock and roll song to chart.
