Book Description
This is the riveting story of how one deejay-Alan Freed-brought the fresh sounds of rock and roll to the airwaves, introducing teenagers in New York and across America to the sounds of a generation. It is also the darker tale of the payola scandals of the late 50s that exposed the links between radio airplay, record promotion, and the mob. With 45 photos.
