Today, in Musical History, March 21st, 1952: The first rock n' roll concert tries to take place, as Alan Freed hosts the Moondog Coronation Ball at the Cleveland Arena. 

On the bill: Paul Williams and His Hucklebuckers, Tiny Grimes and the Rocking Highlanders, the Dominoes, Danny Cobb, and Vanetta Dillard. Expecting maybe 2,500 attendees, Freed and the Arena staff were stunned to see 25 THOUSAND show up - at a hall that held barely half that. Counterfeiting and a printing error had led to more tickets being printed than there were actual seats, and the audience got so worked up that the show was shut down by the fire marshal after the opening act's first song. Freed issued a public apology on his show the next day.

Cover Of The Day:

"Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" (Dave "Curlee" Williams) Chart position unknown; released 3/21/1955, by Big Maybelle (and produced by Quincy Jones), there's no telling how many folks have taken a swing at this one; Jerry Lee was the first to have a hit with it, but the list is literally probably endless - Wanda Jackson, the Flying Lizards, Big Star, blah, blah blah -

But this version, bringing the white-boy soul blowout vibe, was by Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels, from their 1967 album "What Now My Love?
