In this episode Ed and Nate discuss the period when Rock and Roll really got started. We’ll hear about the woman who discovered Elvis Presley, a pair of Jewish music fans who become legit R&B legends, how a Turkish record mogul wrote Ray Charles’ first hit, when country music discovered cheating songs and a whole lot about dirty dirty naughty rhythm and blues records.
As always you can read all about it in Ed Ward's epic History of Rock & Roll part 1.
