“Rock ’n roll is really swing with a modern name,” Freed once said. “It began on the levees and plantations, took in folk songs, and features blues and rhythm. It’s the rhythm that gets to the kids – they’re starved of music they can dance to, after all those years of crooners.”

HISTORICAL ALAN FREED MOMENTS:

Freed moved to WINS in New York in 1954 where his late night radio show became known as Alan Freed's Rock ’n’ Roll Party. His popularity was immediate and so was the criticism.

In July 1957, Freed was given his own nationally televisedrock ’n roll dance show billed as “The Big Beat" on ABC-TV. The show featured a mix of pop and R&B acts. Early reviews for the national show were good, but it was cancelled abruptly after Frankie Lymon, one of the show's black performers, was shown on air dancing with a white girl.The biracial dance scene enraged ABC’s Southern affiliates and the network cancelled the show despite its growing popularity.

Freed was featured in five of the earliest rock ’n’ roll movies – Rock Around the Clock and Rock, Rock, Rock in 1956; Mister Rock And Roll and Don’t Knock the Rock in 1957 and Go Johnny Go in 1958.

Freed was initially interred in New York, the city where he died at 43 in 1965. His family moved his remains to Cleveland years later and then to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Museum 12 years ago, his son Lance Freed said.

“I thought this was the last move, but then I got this call to move him,” Freed said. “He said, ‘You’ve got to come pick him up.’ “

“The museum world is moving away from exhibiting remains” since ashes don’t help tell a story, he was told.

Bullshit. The Hall's Board simply felt human remains did not belong where they could depress those paying for admission.
