Well Jim & Co. ...I just mentioned Alan Freed because tha's the way i heard about it growing up. Thanks for the insight though!
By the way,did you know that Bill Haley had his #1 hit with Rock Around The Clock,the same week as his 30th birthday? Also,if he had lived...he would have turned 80 back on July 6th and been the olest living rocker!
Right now,Chuck Berry is going to be 79 this year in Oct. and then be 80 in 2006. He's waaaaay up there and still going at it on stage.
