The chantwell became a calypsonian in the 1920s and calypso became widely popular throughout Trinidad and the Caribbean in the 1930s.

During the 1960s, calypso was merged with Indian music and later soul and funk to become soca.
Music history of the United States in the 1960s
Psychedelic rock particularly took off in California's emerging music scene as groups followed the Byrds from folk to folk rock from 1965. The psychedelic life style had already developed in San Francisco and particularly prominent products of the scene were The Grateful Dead, Country Joe and the Fish, The Great Society and Jefferson Airplane. The Byrds rapidly progressed from purely folk rock in 1966 with their single "Eight Miles High", perceived by many listeners to be a reference to drug use. In actuality, it referred to The Byrds' 1965 plane trip to England.
