As a rebroadcast of the iconic American radio documentary series, The History of Rock & Roll, our show offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the evolution of the genre. Originally syndicated in 1969, this monumental "rockumentary" remains a cornerstone of musical scholarship, tracing the evolution of rock and roll from its roots in the 1950s to its enduring influence on contemporary culture.

Crafted by visionary producers Bill Drake and Gene Chenault, The History of Rock & Roll features insights from hundreds of interviews with rock legends and industry insiders. Through their collective wisdom and firsthand accounts, we unravel the tapestry of influences that shaped the genre.

At the heart of our episode lies the transformative year of 1955, a time when rock and roll was still in its infancy but already making waves across the airwaves. From the electrifying rhythms of Chuck Berry to the soulful crooning of Elvis Presley, 1955 was a year of innovation and experimentation in music.

One of the hallmark features of our show is the dynamic "chart sweep," a segment that showcases the top hits and notable songs from the year. Additionally, our "time sweep" segments provide a curated selection of major hits, offering listeners a comprehensive overview of the musical landscape.

While our focus remains on rock and roll and its diverse iterations, we also pay homage to the eclectic blend of genres that flourished in 1955. From rhythm and blues to country and gospel, our playlist reflects the diversity and dynamism of the era.
