Memphis or Cleveland is a good argument. But I'm saying Rock N Roll's birth place is Cleveland. The "roots" of rock might originate in Memphis.

It isn't just about the term being coined there, though. A lot of the first major concerts were held in Cleveland, a lot of bands broke on Cleveland radio and a lot of American artists came from Cleveland and Northeast Ohio.
