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.

I don't know what Mr. Ward says for the name of Elvis's high school (Comb?) but it was Humes High School in Memphis. 5/8/2021 06:26:45 pm
Thanks for listening. I heard Ed say Humes High School when we did the interview but listening now it is hard to make out. Apologies. Leave a Reply. |
