[Description by Uncle Ricky]This exhibit, contributed by Norm Garr, presents Hour 16 and the first half-hour of Hour 17 of the First and Original History Of Rock And Roll, as broadcast by KHJ in the wee morning hours of February 22, 1969. Norm’s recordings are copies from the tapes given to listeners who won a complete set of this original HR&R. They are one generation down from the masters, containing program content only – no news, no commercials.
We estimate the content in this part was broadcast between 3AM and (estimated) about 4:30 AM. Our host is Robert W. Morgan.

The “Pop Music” segment of the History is continued, focusing on 1959 and 1960, spotlighting performers at the top of the charts as the Fifties became the Sixties. Classic torch songs by divas Brenda Lee and Miss Toni Fisher are featured, while handsome young men with big hair were all the rage, fueled by their appearances on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand.
