Rock and Roll had virtually nothing to do with the demise of the Big Bands! There were 8 to 10 years between them. 8 to 10 years of Patti Page, Perry Como, Dean Martin, Eartha Kitt, Rosemary Clooney, The Hit Parade, and on and on. No Rock and Roll until years later. I was there. And now I’m stuck with “The Wayward Wind” buzzing in my brain. Help! Time to put on some Gatton and clear away the fuzz.
