Rock music arrived in Australia in 1955 with Bill Haley and the Comets immortal tune 'Rock Around the Clock' and the impact was enormous. Our teenagers loved it almost as much as their parents hated it. Somehow, most parents believed that this raucus sound would bring about the destruction of ther children's moral fibre.
But Rock'n' Roll was here to stay, never ceasing to grow in popularity and who better to tell like it was than Rob Rogers - the man at the very heart of Australian Rock 'n' Roll.
Bob gives us the inside story on the great overseas acts that came out to this country - from Bill Haley and the Comets to the Beatles, as well as providing great insights on our home-grown talent.
As a DJ, Bob helped to launch the TOP 40 on 2UE and he became a great admirer of a young Johnny O'Keefe, who became probably, Australia's greatest Rock 'n' Roller.
You'll find them all inside these pages - the greats and the not-so-greats. This book documents an era in Australian history that will most likely never be repeated.
A must read for every lover of Rock 'n' Roll.
