This week Ed Ward and Nate Wilcox discuss rock and roll in 1956 with a focus on the rocky and yet productive relationships between African-American recording artists and the Jewish entrepreneurs who brought their work to market.We’ll talk about the relationship between James Brown and Syd Nathan of King Records, the tragic relationship between the gifted 13 year old Frankie Lymon and his gambling addicted record mogul George Goldner, Lieber & Stoller and the songs they wrote and produced and much much more.
As always you can read all about it in Ed Ward's epic History of Rock & Roll part 1.
