On 12/15/21, DJ Alan Freed was born. [View all]
He's reportedly the man who coined the phrase "rock 'n' roll."
This compilation audio from Freed's "Rock 'n' Roll Dance Party" from 1957 features Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps, The Cadillacs, The Platters, Chuck Berry, The Penguins and Bill Haley and the Comets. Many of the performances sound like they're live.
