Synopsis
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.

    Book and value was excellent. Seller was awesome! Description of book was spot on accurate (Book WAS indeed in VERY GOOD condition as seller indicated). Communication was great. This perfect bound style softcover book was very carefully packaged including being tightly wrapped in brown paper, with a stiffener cardboard sheet to prevent bending, all inside the bubble wrap envelope. I could not be happier with purchase.
