MISTER ROCK AND ROLL

hallo,
ich staune, hatten wir den noch nicht?

MISTER ROCK 'N' ROLL (1957:
Alan Freed, Teddy Randazzo, Lionel Hampton, Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers, La Vern Baker, Clyde McPhatter, Brook Benton, Little Richard, Ferlin Husky, Shaye Cogan

Mr. Rock and Roll (1957)… Alan Freed, Little Richard, Clyde McPhatter, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, Teddy Randazzo, Chuck Berry, Rocky Graziano, Lois O'Brien, Lionel Hampton, Ferlin Husky, the Moonglows, Brook Benton, LaVern Baker, Shaye Cogan.

The story of DJ Alan Freed and the start of rock and roll reveals little about Freed himself. It is mostly a showcase for the acts with a stupid love story between Randazzo and an attractive newspaper writer woven in. Tag line - "The big story of the musical sensation that's swept the world… told by the king of rock 'n' roll himself!"
[Freed got his start in Cleveland at WJW but soon moved to WINS in New York. But is was at WJW in 1952 when Freed started playing Rhythm and Blues records and coined the phrase rock and roll. A year after this picture was made, he was arrested at one of his rock and roll shows for inciting a riot. Two years later he was the main target in the payola scandal and drummed out of the business. He then died five years after that.]
