Book Synopsis Big Beat Heat by : John A. Jackson
Book excerpt: This is the riveting story of how one deejay -- Alan Freed -- brought the fresh sounds of rock and roll to the airwaves, introducing teenagers in New York and across America to the sounds of a generation. It is also the darker tale of the payola scandals of the late 50s that exposed the links between radio airplay, record promotion, and the mob.
