July 11, 1951 – On WJW in Cleveland, Alan Freed broadcasts his first “Moondog House Rock and Roll Party,” marking the first radio show with the phrase “Rock and Roll” and giving Freed a claim on the origin of the term. More importantly, Freed plays R&B music, which introduces the sound to a new (and mostly white) audience. #ROCkabillyHop #AlanFreed #Moondog #RocHop
