My mother was born in the early 40's she was a teen in the 50's and she had me in 1970. I can still remember her and the neighbors on Friday and Saturday nights hanging out and listening to a radio station that played this music. Funny how music made in the 50's and 60's, before I was born reminds me of my mom and my early childhood in the mid and late 1970's. Love you mom, thank you for the memories and I miss you.

Oh, this is it!! I've been wanting to rewatch this documentary series ever since I first saw it on TV here in Finland in the early 90s ( I think... ) Oh my God, I can still remember hearing The Chrystals' Da Doo Ron Ron for the first time while watching this and having my mind blown completely - and since this was on the telly and I didn't have the means to tape it on VCR back then, I pretty much never again heard the song after that. Of course I've heard it now online since many years, but I always remembered the greatest performance of the song being on this great series and for years I've wanted to find it but never had any luck, until now. Thank you!!! A shame this wasn't quite complete but still, such a wonderful find!!!

I find it completely fascinating how one genre of music influenced another and out of that came an entirely new sound: Bo Diddley playing his guitar as if it was a drum, for example, or Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys taking their harmonies from the Four Freshmen. Each episode builds upon the last one so seamlessly and gives the listener an inside look as to how the music got its own particular sound.

The manager, Gee Spivak was taking a chance letting me into his drinking establishment, as I was under age at the time. After I graduated high school and turned 18, they always let in for free. The New York State drinking age at that time was 18. Good times!

Not to sound pedantic, however, I'm not sure how much of what came out of pop music in early 60's America could be called rock and roll. Rock and roll inspired maybe, but what burst onto the scene in the 1950s was over, at least in the U.S.. It would take the Brits to bring rock and roll back to the States and create modern rock music.

As good as this whole documentary is, it had serious flaws. Many names were left out such as Ricky Nelson, the Who and Van Halen; some were glossed over, such as Buddy Holly and Richie Valens; both the post-punk New Wave and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal were ignored; and it's biggest flaw was that it treated rock and roll in a linear fashion. The end of this episode, which was cut off, has Ben E. King talking about the negative impact the Beatles and the British Invasion had on black music; all the time ignoring the fact that both Motown and Stax were putting out records at this time.
