Events involving 1950s & '60s performers & their influences
July 10, 1941 — Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton, whose "Jelly Roll Blues" in 1915 is considered the first published jazz composition, dies in Los Angeles at age 50 of heart failure. Born in New Orleans, Morton is a ragtime and pre-boogie woogie pianist, composer and self-described Originator of Jazz, Stomps, and Blues. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducts him in 1998 in the Early Influence category.
1979 — One month after performing for President Jimmy Carter at the White House, Chuck Berry is sentenced to four months in prison for evading $200,000 in taxes. It is the last of the rock star's three imprisonments.
1987 — John Hammond, one of the most influential figures in 20th century popular music and scion of the New York Vanderbilt railroad family, dies at 76 after a series of strokes. A civil rights activist and Benny Goodman's brother-in-law, Hammond promoted racial integration in music and produced the important 1938 From Spirituals to Swing concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City, which greatly influenced the broader acceptance of blues, jazz, boogie woogie, and gospel music with a bill that included rock 'n' roll forerunners Big Joe Turner, Pete Johnson, Albert Ammons, Meade "Lux" Lewis, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Big Bill Broonzy. He discovered a teenaged Billie Holiday in the 1930s and later at Columbia Records, brought aboard Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, and Bruce Springsteen.July 11, 1897 — Blind Lemon Jefferson, an innovative singer/guitarist and founder of the Texas blues style, is born in Wortham, Texas. One of the earliest rural blues singers to record, his Paramount Records catalog amounts to nearly 90 singles between 1926-29, a vast number for the time. Among his best-known songs is "Matchbox Blues," from which Carl Perkins borrows some lyrics in his 1957 recording, "Matchbox," later covered by the Beatles.
1951 — Disc jockey Alan Freed broadcasts his first "Moondog House Rock and Roll Party" over WJW Radio in Cleveland, Ohio, marking the first radio show with the phrase "rock and roll" and giving Freed a claim as the first to apply the term to rhythm and blues. Freed is among the first disc jockeys to introduce the sound to a new, mostly young white audience.
July 13, 1897 — A U.S. patent is granted to Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi for transmitting electrical signals, leading to the invention of radio.
July 15, 1952 — Eight-year-old Gladys Knight wins $2,000 and a gold cup for her rendition of "Too Young" on Ted Mack's Amateur Hour on NBC-TV. Later that year, she forms the Pips with her siblings and cousins.
