| 10 Apr 2023 | The British Invasion | 00:13:16 | |
On February 7th, 1964 the Beatles landed at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, greeted by an estimated crowd of 3,000. They gave their first live US television performance two days later on The Ed Sullivan Show. That show was watched by approximately 73 million viewers in over 23 million households, or a 34 per cent share of the American population. During the week of April 4th, the Beatles held twelve positions on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, including the top five. Here in the USA, Beatlemania exploded, and the Beatles' popularity generated unprecedented interest in British music. Many other UK acts subsequently made their American debuts, successfully touring over the next three years. The Beatles' phenomenal success in the US had opened the door for British acts such as the Rolling Stones, the Zombies, the Kinks, Small Faces, the Dave Clark Five, Herman's Hermits, the Hollies, the Animals, the Moody Blues, Gerry and the Pacemakers, the Searchers, the Yardbirds, the Who and Them, as well as solo singers like Dusty Springfield, Cilla Black, Petula Clark, Tom Jones and Donovan. The British Invasion of America was in full swing. All podcasts on the Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast are produced by brothers-in-law Bill Price and "Jumpin' John" McDermott.

| 11 Apr 2023 | Twist and Shout | 00:11:48 | |
The song "Twist and Shout" by The Beatles was released as a single in the USA on March 2, 1964, with "There's a Place" as its B-side. It was released by Vee-Jay Records on the Tollie label and reached No. 2 on Billboard's chart on April 4, during the week that the top five places on the chart were all Beatles singles! It was the only million-selling Beatles single in the U.S. that was a cover song, and the only Beatles cover single to reach the top 10 on a national record chart. The song failed to hit No. 1 because the group's own follow-up single "Can't Buy Me Love" held the spot! While "Twist and Shout" is commonly associated with The Beatles, there is a lengthy history behind the tune. Have a listen now as Bill Price explains the story of "Twist and Shout!"

In the 1960s and 1970s there was a loose collection of ever-changing, Los Angeles-based session musicians who were playing anonymously in the background of many of the top hits of the day. These musicians were employed for thousands of studio recordings including several hundred Top 40 hits. The musicians were viewed with reverence by industry insiders and are now considered to have been one of the most successful and prolific session recording units in music history.

Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John McDermott, and this episode is about the iconic and influential British Invasion band: The Yardbirds! Amazingly, The Yardbirds started the careers of not one, not two, but three of rock's greatest guitarists: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page. All three guitarists ranked in the top five of Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 greatest guitarists. The band had a string of hits throughout the mid-1960s, including "For Your Love", "Heart Full of Soul", "Shapes of Things", and "Over Under Sideways Down".

| 31 May 2023 | Phil Spector, Part 1 | 00:18:16 | |
Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! This podcast is called Phil Spector, Part 1, and I will be discussing Phil Spector's influential career in music production. Be sure to check out our companion podcast, Phil Spector, Part 2, where I will focus on Spector's famous Wall of Sound recording technique! Phil Spector undoubtedly had numerous character flaws. My concentration in these two podcasts will be on his music, not his character. Phil Spector is best known for his innovative recording practices in the 1960s. Spector developed the Wall of Sound, a production style that was characterized for its dense orchestral sound. He is regarded as one of the most influential figures in pop music history and one of the most successful producers of the 1960s.

Be sure to check out our companion podcast, Phil Spector, Part 1, where I will focus on Phil Spector's influential career in music production! Phil Spector undoubtedly had numerous character flaws. My concentration in these two podcasts will be on his music, not his character. Andrew Oldham coined the phrase "Phil Spector's Wall of Sound" in advertisements for the Righteous Brothers 1964 hit single "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'". Phil Spector developed and perfected his Wall of Sound production technique at Gold Star Studios in the 1960s. To achieve his results, he relied heavily upon the assistance of recording engineer Larry Levine and the group of session musicians later known as "the Wrecking Crew".

| 15 Jul 2023 | Shades of Past (Recollections of a Garage Band), Part 1 | 00:32:03 | |
Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John McDermott and today's podcast is Part 1 of a three-part series called "Shades of Past (Recollections of a Garage Band)". This series recalls one of America's most underappreciated garage bands: The Limited Sensation Domaine! From their humble beginnings in Monroeville, Pennsylvania as the Quad Squad in 1963 this band evolved into the pioneering and influential Astronomical Survey. As they continued to hone their garage chops, the Survey became known first as Steel Hog and eventually as The Limited Sensation Domaine! The Domaine peaked in popularity around the time of their December 1968 Cross Roads Gig, only to suffer a series of musical setbacks and, by 1972, completely disappear from the American musical scene. I was privileged to be part of that garage band. As Dave has so accurately stated, we were just three middle-class white kids trying to play the blues. Back in those days I was referred to as Jack "Firefingers" McDermott, and I am honored to be joined on this podcast by my two band mates from that heady and prolific music time period: the infamous Shannon Brothers: David Douglas aka "William McKinley" Shannon and Richard Charles aka "King Rick" Shannon!

Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and in this podcast I will discuss the British invasion band called The Animals and their influential interpretation of the song "The House of the Rising Sun". So sit back and have a listen to The Animals podcast! In 1962 Eric Burdon joined the Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo in Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England. By 1963 the band had changed their name to The Animals. The original lineup was Eric Burdon (singing lead vocals), Alan Price (on Vox Continental organ and keyboards), Hilton Valentine (on electric guitar), John Steel (on drums & percussion) and Bryan "Chas" Chandler (on bass guitar). While The Animals would undergo numerous personnel changes in the mid-1960s, I am going to focus on the original lineup and on their signature song, "The House of the Rising Sun".

Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and on this podcast I will discuss the English rock band called the Kinks! Ray Davies and his younger brother Dave Davies were born in the mid 1940’s in London, England. After both learning to play guitar, the brothers formed the Ray Davies Quartet at school with Ray's friend and classmate Pete Quaife and Quaife's friend John Start. The band performed under several other names between 1962 and 1963—the Peter Quaife Band, the Bo-Weevils, the Ramrods, and the Ravens.

Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and today's podcast will review the career of one of the pioneers of rock and roll music: Chuck Berry! Charles Edward Anderson Berry was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1926. Despite a lifetime filled with legal problems and periodic jail time, he became one of the most influential, groundbreaking musicians of early rock and roll. Called by some "The Father of Rock and Roll", in 1986 Chuck Berry would be among the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

| 09 Sep 2023 | Eddie Cochran | 00:16:57 | |
Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! Hey, Jumpin' John here, and on this podcast I will discuss the brief career of early rock and roller and rockabilly sensation, Eddie Cochran! Ray Edward Cochran was born in 1938 in Albert Lea, Minnesota. When Eddie was in junior high school his family moved to Bell Gardens, California. Cochran briefly took music lessons in school, and the school band director suggested that Eddie try the clarinet. Cochran refused to even consider it. He vowed to quit the band if he couldn't play what he wanted. After quitting to play drums, he gravitated to learning guitar on his brother's Kay brand guitar (that's spelled K-A-Y). Eddie bought a guitar chord book and was completely self-taught, playing country, blues, and other music he heard on the radio.

| 01 Oct 2023 | The Doors, Part 1 | 00:20:41 | |
Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and today's podcast will cover the first three years in the career of one of the great American rock bands: the Doors! So light your fire and have a listen to The Doors, Part 1! In 1965 Ray Manzarek was playing keyboards in a Los Angeles band called Rick & the Ravens with his brothers Rick and Jim Manzarek. Ray Manzarek happened to meet Jim Morrison on Venice Beach in July 1965. They recognized each other from both attending the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. When Morrison told Manzarek he had been writing songs and sang him the opening words of "Moonlight Drive", Manzarek was impressed. Ray invited Jim Morrison to join the band. At that same time John Densmore was drumming with the Psychedelic Rangers. Densmore knew Manzarek from meditation classes and joined the group in August 1965. By now the band called themselves the Doors, taking their name from the title of Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception. In September 1965, after Manzarek's two brothers left, guitarist Robby Krieger joined. The Doors lineup was now complete: with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore.

| 01 Oct 2023 | The Doors, Part 2 | 00:26:53 | |
Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and today's podcast will cover the final years, starting in 1969, of the career of one of the great American rock bands: the Doors! Among other things I will review the little known role of the Lovin' Spoonful's John Sebastian in a Doors' recording - and the origin of Mr. Mojo Risin! So break on through and take a few minutes to listen to The Doors, Part 2! As I mentioned in the companion podcast, The Doors, Part 1, the single "Touch Me" was released in December 1968. It reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 in the Cashbox Top 100 in early 1969. It would end up being the Doors' third and last American #1 single. On March 1, 1969, at the Dinner Key Auditorium in Miami, Florida, the Doors gave the most controversial performance of their career. The 7,000 capacity auditorium had no air conditioning on that warm night. The seats had been removed by the promoter to boost ticket sales, resulting in a restless, overflow crowd of 10,600. Morrison arrived drunk, and the concert started an hour late. Morrison had recently attended a play by an experimental theater group and was inspired by their "antagonistic" style of performance art. So, from the very first song, Morrison taunted the crowd. Things unraveled quickly on stage. Morrison started and stopped in mid song. He peppered the crowd with questions, obscene requests, and four-letter words. The audience grew angry, hurling insults. Morrison took his shirt off, and some in the audience started taking their clothes off. Morrison held his shirt in front of his groin area and supposedly made hand movements behind it. Four days later the Dade County Sheriff's office issued a warrant for Morrison's arrest, claiming Morrison had exposed his penis while on stage and shouted obscenities to the crowd. Morrison was offered a plea bargain that required the Doors to perform a free Miami concert, but he turned it down. So he was convicted and sentenced to six months in jail with hard labor, and ordered to pay a $500 fine. Morrison remained free, pending an appeal of his conviction, but he would tragically die before the matter was legally resolved. Interestingly, his three band mates all denied the allegation that Morrison exposed himself on stage that night.

| 24 Oct 2023 | Aretha Franklin | 00:31:53 | |
Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and we'll be looking back at some of Rock and Roll's greatest artists, songs, and stories. Today's podcast will discuss the life and illustrious career of the woman known as "The Queen of Soul": Aretha Franklin! Aretha Louise Franklin was born on March 25, 1942 in Memphis, Tennessee. Her father, C. L. Franklin, was a Baptist minister and circuit preacher. Her mother, Barbara, was an accomplished piano player and vocalist. When Aretha was two, the family relocated to Buffalo, New York. By the time Aretha turned five, C. L. Franklin had permanently relocated the family to Detroit, Michigan, where he was pastor of the New Bethel Baptist Church. Shortly afterward her parents separated, and her mother returned to Buffalo. Aretha's mother would die of a heart attack in 1952, before Aretha's 10th birthday. During this time, Aretha learned how to play piano by ear. She attended public school in Detroit through her first year at Northern High School, but dropped out during her second year. Aretha would end up being the mother of four sons, and she gave birth to her first child while only 12 years old. Aretha's father initially managed her early career, taking her on the road with him during his gospel caravan tours. He helped her sign her first recording deal with J.V.B. Records. In 1956, J.V.B. released fourteen-year-old Aretha's first single, "Never Grow Old", backed with "You Grow Closer". During this time, Franklin would occasionally travel with the Soul Stirrers. As a young gospel singer, Franklin spent summers on the gospel circuit in Chicago and stayed with Mavis Staples' family. At the age of 16, Aretha went on tour with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Other influences in her youth included Mahalia Jackson, Marvin Gaye (who was a boyfriend of her sister), Ray Charles, and Sam Cooke. Another important influence was James Cleveland All podcasts on the Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast are produced by brothers-in-law Bill Price and "Jumpin' John" McDermott.

| 08 Nov 2023 | Alan Freed | 00:25:56 | |
Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John McDermott, and in today's podcast I will discuss the major influence of disk jockey Alan Freed on the early development of rock and roll! Alan Freed has secured a place in American music history as the first important rock 'n' roll disc jockey. Not only was he the first radio disc jockey and concert producer who frequently played and promoted rock and roll, but he popularized the phrase "rock and roll" on mainstream radio. His on-air manner was energetic, in contrast to other radio DJ's, who were more subdued and low-key while playing traditional pop music. Freed helped to break down racial barriers in popular music. He promoted the emerging black musical styles of the 1950s to a white mainstream audience. He helped bridge the gap of segregation among young teenage Americans, presenting music by black artists (rather than cover versions by white artists) on his radio program. He also arranged live concerts attended by racially mixed audiences. Freed's importance to the rock 'n' roll musical genre led to his inclusion with the first group inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. He was the only non-musician inducted into that first class. All podcasts on the Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast are produced by brothers-in-law Bill Price and "Jumpin' John" McDermott.

| 02 Dec 2023 | Johnny Rivers | 00:33:25 | |
Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and in today's podcast I will discuss the career of John Ramistella, better known as Johnny Rivers! John Henry Ramistella was born on November 7, 1942 in New York City. In 1948 his family moved from New York to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. John was drawn to the guitar before rock and roll became a national sensation. His first musical inspiration was his father, who played guitar and mandolin and had perfect pitch. Rhythm and blues was a way of life in Baton Rouge, and John listened to R&B on the late-night radio stations. He saw performers like Fats Domino and Jimmy Reed in person. In 1954 Elvis Presley performed at Baton Rouge High School, and John was hooked! John has said [and I quote], “I was thinking, this guy is really cool because he had the greasy hair and sideburns. It was something I'll never forget. I said, wow, that's what I want to do.” [end quote]. Johnny Rivers is a unique figure in the history of rock music. He was an American rock star of the 1960s, who came to popularity just as the Beatles and other English bands began their invasion of America. Johnny was unique as a white American singer and guitarist who made a name for himself as a straight-ahead rock & roller during the middle of that decade. Just as important behind the scenes, his recordings and their success led to the launching, directly and indirectly, of at least three record labels and a dozen other careers whose influence extended into the 1970s, 1980s, and beyond. With a repertoire including pop, folk, blues, and old-time rock ‘n’ roll, Johnny Rivers remains best known for seventeen Top 40 Billboard hits, nine singles in the Top 10, two Grammy awards, and over 30 million records sold!

| 09 Dec 2023 | Terry Melcher | 00:26:49 | |
Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and in today's podcast I will discuss the career of influential music producer Terry Melcher!

Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and today I will focus on one of the more successful British Invasion bands that began to hit America's musical shores in 1964.

Be sure check out our companion podcast, Herman's Hermits, Part 2, where I interview an authentic Herman's Hermits fan in studio. In 1964 Herman's Hermits was formed in Manchester, England. Harvey Lisberg discovered them and signed on as their manager. Then the band’s deal with producer Mickie Most had them signing with EMI's Columbia label in Europe and MGM Records in the United States. Their five piece lineup essentially came together from two different local bands. Keith Hopwood (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Karl Green (bass), and Peter Noone (lead vocals) came from the Heartbeats, and Derek "Lek" Leckenby (lead guitar) and Barry Whitwam (drums) joined later from the Wailers.
