The term "Rock & Roll" was coined by a DJ named Alan Freed back in the fifties. The legend
is that while he was spinning records on the air he played a copy of Buddy Holly's song That'll be the day. He was so moved by its raw passion and freshness. He locked the door to his dj booth and played the record over and over again until the police knocked down the door and dragged him out seven or eight hours later.
