BROADCAST BULLETIN (Daily Updates)
To paraphrase an old dairy ad, You Never Outgrow Your Need for Rock 'n' Roll. Let this week's show quench your thirst for real ‘50s-‘60s oldies. As usual, you'll also hear some rock roots tunes from the late '40s and early '50s.
September 1, 1952 — Ray Charles signs to Atlantic Records after leaving Swingtime. His new label takes him in a harder R&B direction than the crooner-style pop and West Coast Blues he had been recording.
1956 — 19-year-old Jerry Lee Lewis travels to Memphis to audition for Sam Phillips at Sun Records. Phillips is vacationing in Florida, however, so Lewis records a few songs for him to hear when he returns.
1957 — Keen Records releases "You Send Me" by Sam Cooke, his first major foray into secular music outside of his gospel performances with the Soul Stirrers, adapting a crooning style honed in church settings to a more intimate, romantic expression. The record tops Billboard's Hot 100 chart for three weeks while also reaching #1 on the R&B chart.
September 2, 1995 — The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame museum opens in Cleveland, Ohio, providing the institution with its first home nine years after inducting its inaugural slate of artists and disc jockey Alan Freed. The location's choice honors the city where Freed helped popularize the music genre over local radio station WJW and held the first rock concert in 1952, The Moondog Coronation Ball.
