When people think about the birth of rock and roll, names like Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Buddy Holly often come to mind. Yet behind the scenes was a Cleveland radio disc jockey whose influence forever changed American music. His name was Alan Freed, and without him, rock and roll may have taken a very different path.
Although historians continue to debate whether Alan Freed actually coined the phrase "rock and roll," there is little disagreement that he introduced the term to millions of listeners and helped transform rhythm and blues from a niche genre into a nationwide phenomenon.
His story is more than the biography of a radio personality. It is the story of a changing America, where music crossed racial boundaries, teenagers discovered a new identity, and Cleveland became forever linked to one of the most important cultural movements in history.
