The Dark Secret Behind the Rise of Rock and Roll! pt9
Alan Freed was a radio DJ who is often credited with coining the term "rock and roll." He was a firm believer in the genre and its potential to be the music of the future. However, his association with payola plagued him throughout his career. Payola is the practice of paying DJs to play certain songs on the radio. Although many DJs of the time were involved in payola, Freed was a particular target of the establishment due to his support and advocacy of black music and the influence it had on the rising teenage population. This ultimately led to his downfall. He was indicted on charges of commercial bribery and dismissed from his job at WABC. He eventually moved to California, where he died in 1965 at the age of 43.
Freed's legacy is complex. He was a pioneer of rock and roll, but he was also tarnished by his association with payola. However, his contributions to the genre cannot be denied. He helped to popularize black music and make it accessible to a wider audience. He also helped to create a new sound that would come to define a generation.
Freed's story is a reminder that even the most successful people are not immune to scandal. However, his legacy is also a testament to the power of music to change the world.
