For Hour Fifteen of the First and Original History Of Rock And Roll, as broadcast by KHJ, we temporarily leave The Don Kent Collection for this hour contributed by Norm Garr.
Norm's recording of the program is one generation from the original KHJ master. This hour was broadcast between 2AM and 3AM on February 22, 1969, but it does not include any of the local commercial breaks. Our host is Robert W. Morgan.
The "Pop Music" segment of the History is continued, again featuring artists that were played on radio along with the new "rock and roll" performers.

This exhibit, contributed by Norm Garr, presents Hour 16 and the first half-hour of Hour 17 of the First and Original History Of Rock And Roll, as broadcast by KHJ in the wee morning hours of February 22, 1969. Norm's recording of the program is a low-speed copy one generation from the original composite prepared for winners of a KHJ contest.
We estimate the content in this part was broadcast between 3AM and (estimated) about 4:30 AM. It does not include any of the local commercial breaks or newscasts. Our host is Robert W. Morgan.
The "Pop Music" segment of the History is continued, focusing on 1959 and 1960, spotlighting performers at the top of the charts as the Fifties became the Sixties. Classic torch songs by divas Brenda Lee and Miss Toni Fisher are featured, while handsome young men with big hair were all the rage, fueled by their appearances on Dick Clark's American Bandstand.

This exhibit, contributed by Norm Garr, presents Hour 18 and the last half-hour of Hour 17
of the First and Original History Of Rock And Roll, as broadcast by KHJ in the wee morning hours of Saturday, February 22, 1969.
Norm's recording of the program is a low-speed copy one generation from the original composite prepared for winners of a KHJ contest. We estimate the content in this part was broadcast between (estimated) 4:30 AM and 6:00 AM. It does not include any of the local commercial breaks or newscasts. Our host is Robert W. Morgan.
The "Pop Music" segment of the History is continued, focusing on 1960 and 1961. We're gonna do The Twist, and it goes like this: We learn that the first fuzz guitar effect in a popular song was a technical difficulty, hear a demonstration of the first popular record in 5/4 time, but are clueless as to why a song about an agricultural pest should top the charts in 1961. Perhaps people liked remembering those old cotton fields back home?

This exhibit, contributed by Norm Garr, presents Hour 19
of the First and Original History Of Rock And Roll, as broadcast by KHJ on Saturday, February 22, 1969.
Our best guess is that the content in this part was broadcast between 6 and 7 AM. It does not include any of the local commercial breaks or newscasts. Our host is Robert W. Morgan.
Pop Music from 1961 and 1962, an era of Top 40 with exceptional variety, is featured in this segment. Comments from Neil Sedaka and Ray Charles are included. You'll also hear Brian Wilson define "surfing" music.

[Description by Uncle Ricky]
This is hour 20 of the First and Original History Of Rock And Roll, contributed by Norm Garr. It is one generation out from the KHJ Contest Winner tape of the program, as broadcast by KHJ on Saturday, February 22, 1969.
This part was broadcast between 7 and 8 AM, and does not include any of the local commercial breaks or newscasts. Our host is Robert W. Morgan.
1963 is the focus of this segment, another era of Top 40 music that boasts outstanding variety. You'll hear comments from Dionne Warwick, Trini Lopez and Gerry Goffin.
You'll also hear a rare mistake in the script. The hit by Sammy Davis, Jr. was not from Fiddler On The Roof, but from Stop The World, I Want To Get Off.

This is hour 33 of the First and Original History Of Rock And Roll, contributed by Norm Garr. It is one generation out from the KHJ Contest Winner tape of the program, as broadcast by KHJ on Saturday, February 22, 1969. In addition, this hour includes an extended newscast with Marv Howard from the original broadcast, contributed by Don Kent. (The newscast starts at 39:36.)
This segment of the original 48-hour Rockumentary was broadcast between 8 and 9 PM, and does not include any of the local commercial breaks, other than those in the newscast. Our host is Robert W. Morgan.
Continued from the previous hour featuring 1963, much of the Top 40 music presented in this hour is memorable. The "blindfold test" comments from Phil Spector demonstrate his early genius, a genius that decayed into homicidal madness forty years later.
