Today 1921 Alan Freed was born
Alan Freed, born 1921_december_15, and also known as Moondog, was an American disc-jockey (DJ) who became internationally known for promoting African-American Rhythm and Blues (R&B) music on the radio in the United States and Europe under the name of Rock and Roll. Many of the top African American performers of the first generation of rock and roll (such as Little Richard and Chuck Berry) salute Alan Freed for his pioneering attitude in breaking down racial barriers among the youth of 1950s America.The biggest payola story that hit the broadcasting industry (in the early 1960s) was attached to the biggest name in rock 'n' roll in the late 50s : Alan Freed. The powerhouse DJ who may have been half-inventor of the very term rock and roll was dragged before Washington politicians who had developed a fond interest in encouraging the "race music fad" to come to a close.
Freed was trading spins for cash. Here's some dough, Alan, make sure my record gets noticed. A lot like the Hutchinson Family Singers. Freed argued the honorariums he received were tokens of appreciation or consulting fees. He also claimed he earned those occasional songwriting credits that would pop up on records now and again, too. No one believed him.
His career was destroyed and he eventually died 1965_january_20.

I added an 1957 interview by Alan Freed with Buddy Holly.And last but not least is here also just a little piece of one of the great Rock'n'Roll shows that Freed produced in the 50's, a chunk from the 1957_november Brunswick Rock'n'Roll Show. A 15 minute piece of history on which you can hear Terry Nolan, Buddy Holly, Jackie Wilson (see picture on the left) and others.

This seems, in my opinion, the best deal between 'protecting' my links and the least effort for you.
