Jim Maple's History of Rock 'n' Roll
Jim Maple is old enough to remember a time when Buddy Holly was alive, Elvis didn’t have a permanent gig in Vegas, and Chuck Berry didn’t have to go on about his ding-a-ling. He traces the roots of rock music from the jazz, blues and country of the 20s and 30s, through the rockabilly and R’n’B of 50s Memphis, to the transatlantic cultural exchange of the 60s. Tune in and join the journey.
