One man put America between Rock and a hard place.

When disc jockey Alan Freed began playing a
powerful new type of music in the 1950's, he named it "Rock 'N' Roll."

Overnight, America had a new beat, and teenagers had a new hero.

This is both the story of Alan Freed and the pioneers of rock music, including Little Richard, Jackie Wilson and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Filled with music, energy, nostalgia and romance,
"Mr. Rock-n-Roll" reveals the forces that aligned for and against the rock 'n' roll explosion.

The first broadcast of “Mr. Rock N Roll” was on
Oct. 31st, 1999 on NBC and is now available on video.
