If you're hep then you'll know the cat I'm talking about - He wrote "Rock-a-Beatin' Boogie" for "The Esquire Boys", then had an even bigger hit when his own group recorded it. Alan Freed, who worked for WJW Radio, Cleveland, Ohio was so fascinated by the lyrics
Rock, Rock, Rock, Everybody Roll, Roll, Roll, Everybody
that rumor says he coined the phrase "Rock and Roll". What was the name of the hep-cat that wrote "Rock-a-Beatin' Boogie"? For extra credit, name his combo.
Answer to last months question of what was the tallest structure in the world until the Eiffel Tower was finished in 1889, and it took 634 years to complete (a clue that definitely pointed to a European Cathedral) was: The COLOGNE CATHEDRAL with twin spires 515 ft.high. Unless a name follows there were no winners.
