Some information should be available to the public. Particularly audio mastering and preservation.

Highland Park is on the east end of Pittsburgh.

My heart broke when I heard, "We're not gonna play the whole thing". By all means play it, it's the chance of a lifetime for listeners.

Very interesting. Quite sad that these now historical treasure are not made accessible to us, the African /Black communities here in Germany. I wonder whether the institutes where these recordings are archived & the academics would be interested in cooperating with us

Highland Park is on the east side not the north side, in case you have time to correct for your book. Best of luck with the project and thanks for educating us.

I was named after the great Russ Columbo songwriter L.Russell Brown

Thanks a lot. So little seems to be available on the Great Mr. B. This filled in quite a lot I had wondered about, since I am a "Big Fan."

He was a true artist, his voice and the music was his canvas. They came with their harassment, but another brother came and pulled his slack, headed them off at the pass. He was the real deal, he didn't need the plastic of Hollywood.

amazing to hear Doc playing electric

I'm disturbed by some of the terminology and value judgments of the presenter. For instance, what is a "shuck-and-jive" singer? And why disparage the quality of early Black cinema? Black filmmakers used whatever resources they had at their disposal. Be happy that the footage exists, and save your critiques about the acting, film quality, etc. And it's awful that he included that insulting white parody of Mr. Eckstine. Disappointing and disrespectful to this great artist. What could have been an excellent lecture fell flat with such a sour narrative.

the victrolla i inherited came with a ton of polish polka music and today it sounds like the sounds of hell to me. no idea what it sounded like when it was first released, but god damn.

i just figured every kid probably had a version of these growing up

Excellent information! A couple of times you took my breath away. I am a lover of MJH and his music. He's a mentor of mine.

I had heard the story of someone, you say Tom Hawkins, going to discovery John still in Avalon during the Blues revival. The person who told the story gave a humorous twist to it. He said, the guy at the gas station was asked, "do you know Mississippi John Hurt?" He said "yes." The next question was, "is he still alive?" That question through him a little bit, to which he answered, "I don't know." Next question, "when was the last time you saw him?" Answer, "he was in here this morning....But he's old."

Excellent

Great presentation. However, I must respectfully disagree with Mr. Ratcliffe's interpretation at 22:47. I think what Jessie is saying at the start of the tape is "You ain't supposed to pat your feet loud John, you just make a motion with your feet"...to which John answers something to the effect of "I forgot that".

A jewel

Thank you Dr. Burford for pointing out that Apollo Records was also going to take Ms. Jackson along the more pop-styled musical route. Fans often like to call her Apollo records the “Black Mahalia” and CBS as the “White Mahalia”. Bess Berman was heading where George Avakian took her and you can tell that from Mahalia’s 1953-1954 Apollo sides.

Excellent information !! Thanks so much for this !!

In 1992, Topps magazine published its first advertisement. It was for a tape cassette recording of the Pathe 78rpm record "Babe Ruth's Home Run Story". Having heard the recording and knowing that the statements in the advertisement that the voice on the record was that of Babe Ruth were false, I wrote a letter of complaint to Topps magazine. I was immediately contacted by the advertiser who threatened to sue me.

At the time KHJ assembled the original 48 hour HRR, little serious study of rock and pop history had been done. Joel Whitburn would not start publishing his Billboard chart books until 1970 and little accurate data could be pulled at the time from teen fan magazines like "Flip" and "16." That helps explain why the KHJ production, impressive at the time, was actually packed with factual errors, poor judgement calls and chaotic organization. In 1976 Bill Drake hired me to update the 1969 production by tacking on a few more hours, but after reading over the KHJ script I told Bill I'd rather rebuild the entire HRR from scratch -- reformatting it and working in both accurate historical data and loads of new hitmaker audio interviews. Bill agreed and two years later I had created the Billboard award-winning 52 hour all-new "History of Rock 'n' Roll," which ran on more than 1000 stations worldwide. I had left Bill's employ by 1981, when the so-called "Silver Anniversary" edition of the HRR was released. It mostly cut the pre-Beatles history (!) and the bulk of what was left was a hack-edited cut-down of my 1978 production. The cuts were made to make room within the 52 hours for full hours spotlighted such then-hot "rockers" as Dionne Warwick -- who told me herself, "I never cut a rock 'n' roll record in my life." Today I own the "History of Rock 'n Roll" trademark and write and produce the weekly two-hour "History of Rock 'n' Roll with Wink Martindale" radio series syndicated by United Stations in North America and Radio Express throughout the rest of the world.

J. Wesley Jones was the guest conductor of the mass community choir of 500 African American voices at Cincinnati's second "Festival of Negro Music" on June 24, 1933, at 5 p.m. in Eden Park. This was the progenitor of the annual June Festival in Cincinnati from 1938 to 1952.

Honestly, I don't think people recognise how absolutely amazing this really is. This music would for the most part be completely lost but digitising them I have enjoyed and discovered so many beautiful and new songs. Excellent work from all those involved.

Album Oriented Rock on FM stations like 94.7 KMET and 95.5 KLOS (which is still going strong) eventually put a end to top 40 AM stations like 93.KHJ.

GREAT KOREAN EMPIRE!

What a great presentation!! Hoek is a good speaker.

Love your channel, but if you could, please center the sound. I get sound only from the left channel on every video. Its a bit disorienting to listen to.

Thanks so much for this upload. Great presentation and confirmed a lot of things I've learned from John M Worams book.

An amazing voice. in an era of fabulous voices, his was one of, if not THE best. He had everything. Until that photograph. It didn't ruin his career but certainly damaged it. Heartbreaking.

Very insightful dialogue, thank you!

RELATED TO the King rec artist of some 30 lps ??

PELOTE in finnish means DETERRENT 🇫🇮

GOT,THE,LEADBELLY 1 near mint

I heard the masters for listen to me was stolen the night baby O.D.' There is a link between the instances.

Impressive. I have a Korean 78 rpm Victor (but it's much later) 49440 (8517/8518) recorded at Tokyo ca. September 1936. I found this disc ... in Estonia (Tallinn)

Thanks for a smart and perceptive presentation on the original version of The History of Rock & Roll.

The planted question at the end LOL!

"Here is a word from our[1969] sponsors"14:11even the vintage commercials are here!

Curtis Mayfield stole that the night huey overdsed and died from my research 😢 smh... the band and studio musicians never saw a dime just the scum who stole it... disgusting

Please do a full documentary of this…

Great information! Thank you for sharing!

Crazy: Aaron Cohen is a Jew... talking/condemining 1960s racial/segregation laws USA... While to this day 28 October 2023.. Israel, his own people land/country, is the last strill standing APARTHEID STATE.... with segregated towns in and outside Israel.. with daylabor passes... bundled up stolen property/land owners last 2000 years of Palestine... with no financial compesation and be bombed by IDF... Palestin babies in their beds/cribbs. I dont get it with these Jews... Outside israel they endorse multicultural, but back home they have best controll surveillance system to keep 'others' out. Espacially if u read Thora/Talmud u will find sentences of all non jews being animals compared to jews... There is no love described for 'others'in those jewish books... compared to bibel and or Koran. Its cringe, in this video, that a Jew with this information all above is speaking of a person/story about racism. Jews talk jibberish outside of israel... They pretend to fight racism while at same time have still apartheids regime in place back home... These people suck and misusing Baby Huey story and plight.. for false identificating with it which is completely absurd.

Thanks for sharing love the record. Good to hear the backstory behind the band

FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED BY VAN HALEN…is soo Western Swing…just listen to it carefully…100%

Lol at the 'planted' question at the end..!

when i hear inch, it scratch my head. you know, USA supports the ISO conventions. and you, as an credible Association should to. just use metric. and re upload the video. thank you.

B was the greatest singer out there and NONE of them could touch him but RACISM play a big part in it because those white girls went crazy over him,and that's the part they won't talk about. He should have been in motion pictures, WORD

Thanks so much! It's hard to find reliable, credible sources on this subject.
