The soundtrack of a Top 40 career.
Some will make you laugh and some will make you cry, but they all… have got to, got to… bring back… fantastic memories.
[Curator’s Note]: The closing credits for this release of The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll are included in the final segment. This is from what we believe was the next-to-last release (still available in 1980) of the Drake-Chenault syndicated program, which ran 52 hours. The program was shipped on high quality vinyl, and only a limited number of copies were ever available. The Repository is honored to feature this version of the syndicated radio classic.
The syndicated program bore little resemblance to the original KHJ History of Rock and Roll which was aired on KHJ (and other RKO stations) in the Spring of 1969. That program was Produced and directed by Ron Jacobs, written by Pete Johnson, narrated by Robert W. Morgan, and engineered by Bill Mouzis.
