Rock and roll has been as much a part of the north coast city of Cleveland as the lake that hugs it. Ever since Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed first called the records he was playing "rock and roll," northeast Ohio has been a driving force in this musical phenomenon. From the disc jockeys who spun the music to the musicians who played it, the clubs that welcomed it and fans who encouraged it, rock and roll has been as much a part of this north coast as the lake that hugs it. It was those early years, from the 1950s on, that led Cleveland to becoming the "Rock and Roll Capital of the World" and ultimately home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. While the city spawned several widely recognized names, such as the James Gang (with Joe Walsh), the Raspberries (with Eric Carmen), and Bobby Womack, it is the music itself that will keep this town rocking on the shores of Lake Erie, and beyond, for a long time to come.… (meer)

This author is local to Ohio, and I have met her at various book events in the area. She's written several books about music in Cleveland as well as several fiction books.
This book contains many pictures, most with a paragraph or two that explains the picture and how it relates to Cleveland, Ohio's rock & roll scene.
Topics covered include: deejays, radio stations, bands, musicians, venues, behind the scenes personalities, and the hall of fame.
If you've read other books by this author or other authors, there is some repetition of information. ( )

To my husband, Jeff, for his steadfast support and unwavering love--for rock and roll, as well as for me. And to my brother and musician, Dennis Fedorko, who was my first influence and teacher on all things rock and roll and who passed away before the publication of this book.

At Akron's WAKR, Alan Freed earned a loyal following by playing music from "pop to the cool jazz bit" with some classical music, and, reportedly, a few rhythm and blues (R&B) records in between.

The weekend-long festivities left no doubt that, from its roots that began in the 1950s, Cleveland always has, and always will, rock.
