Book Description
"Rock 'n' Roll and the Cleveland
Connection" is the first in-depth look at the people,
venues, and artists that made Cleveland the "Rock 'n'
Roll Capital of the World."
Author Deanna Adams conducted personal
interviews with more than 300 musicians, managers,
deejays, promoters, record executives, and club owners -
all pioneers of this new musical movement - to compile
these chapters in musical history.
From the Publisher
Deanna Adams spent hundreds of hours researching
recollections of the musicians, deejays, journalists, and
fans who made up the Cleveland rock
scene from the 1950s to the 1990s. The Kent State University
Press is pleased to be the publisher of this excellent book.
From the Inside Flap
It’s no wonder Cleveland is home to the internationally
famous Rock and Roll Hall of Fame—Cleveland disk jockey Alan
Freed coined the phrase for this new musical phenomenon
nearly 50 years ago; Casey Kasem fine-tuned his long-running
broadcasting career in Cleveland; and Cleveland witnessed
the rise of such widely recognized groups as the James Gang,
the Outsiders, Damnation of Adam Blessing, and the
Raspberries. Nearby Canton gave us the O’Jays, and Akron
spawned Devo and Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders. And the
rock concert was practically invented in Cleveland in 1952,
when Alan Freed convened the first Moondog Coronation Ball.
By the 1970s Cleveland had become a proving ground for
superstars in the making. "Rock ’n’ Roll and the Cleveland
Connection" is the first in-depth look at the people,
venues, and artists that made Cleveland the "Rock ’n’ Roll
Capital of the World."

"Chock-full of details and interesting
stories, it reflects the rich and colorful history that
