GREAT STUFF FROM THE DJ-CUM-PROMOTER WHO CHRISTENED "ROCK 'N' ROLL"
ALAN FREED AND HIS ROCK 'N' ROLL BAND
ROCK 'N' ROLL BOOGIE
b/w TEENER'S CANTEEN
"Rock 'n' roll is really swing with a modern name. It began on the levees and plantations, took in folk songs, and features blues and rhythm. It's the rhythm that gets to the kids — they're starved of music they can dance to, after all those years of crooners."
"Let's face it—rock 'n' roll is bigger than all of us"
Albert James "Alan" Freed (December 15, 1921 – January 20, 1965), also known as Moondog, was an American disc jockey. He became internationally known for promoting the mix of blues, country and rhythm and blues music on the radio in the United States and Europe under the name of rock and roll. His career was destroyed by the payola scandal that hit the broadcasting industry in the early 1960s.
Freed died the day of Lyndon Johnson's inauguration, Jan. 20, 1965, broke and heartbroken. Nevertheless, he remains one of the most recognizable radio jocks in rock history, and was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. "Freed was a fascinating contradiction. He symbolized the triumphs and tragedies of rock 'n' roll"
