Additional Details

Contains 140 pictures with an introduction by Ben J. Murray giving a brief history of "Rock 'n Roll All American Melodic Excitement," though this booklet is really more of a listing of Rhythm and Blues artists than "Rock 'n Roll." Many jazz saxophone players were "back-up" players for rhythm and blues artists in the 1950s.
