DJ's started to lose their influence over which songs were to be played in the early '70's. ::

At what point does the Rock n' Roll branch start to form a new branch off the R&B Tree Branch is hard to determine. The evolution and synthesis of R&B from '46 - early '50s has many entry points for that branch to form: Louis Jordan Wynonie Harris Roy Brown Ike Turner Bill Haley Big Joe Turner Chuck Berry Elvis the list will go on and on

I'd have to go with Jackass: The Movie

It was written in an era before tv where (children's and adults) imagination led to this song... by Johnny Burke and Jimmy Van Heusen
