Not just that... There are certain songs that just don’t sound right without a Ricky somewhere in the mix. Apart from the obvious examples that everyone knows, one of the ones I always go to from my earliest adulthood is: “’Til I Am Myself Again” by Blue Rodeo. One of those songs that the Ricky just makes it pop, IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKcZsBLS17U
Imho, the electric guitar is what made Rock N Roll really take off like wildfire. Les Paul and Leo Fender made it even better, but Rickenbacker started it.
