Modern pop music grew out of 1950s [[rock and roll]], (for example [[Chuck Berry]], [[Bo Diddley]] and [[Little Richard]]) and [[rockabilly]] (for example [[Elvis Presley]] and [[Buddy Holly]]). In the 1960s, [[The Beatles]] became a famous pop music group. In the 1970s, other styles of music were mixed with pop music, such as [[funk]] and [[soul music]]. Pop music generally has a heavy (strong) beat, so that it is good for dancing. Pop singers normally sing with microphones that are plugged into an [[amplifier]] and a [[loudspeaker]].
