    The Pied Piper of Cleveland Was the Title of a Film Produced in November 1955 Documenting the Career of Disc Jockey Bill Randle

    The Pied Piper of Cleveland was the title of a film produced in November 1955 documenting the career of disc jockey Bill Randle. The full title of the film is The Pied Piper of Cleveland: A Day in the Life of a Famous Disc Jockey. Arthur Cohen, directed, and Bill Randle produced. The film showcases live performances of Elvis Presley, Bill Haley, Pat Boone, LaVern Baker, Roy Hamilton, Johnnie Ray and others. The original forty‐eight minute film was supposed to be cut down to a twenty minute "short" for national distribution, but has never made it that far. There is some dispute over whether or not this film actually exists, as it was only shown publicly once. Randle has repeatedly asserted that the film does indeed exist. Due to problems over legal ownership, the film has not been officially released, and remains 'misplaced' to this day. It is reported that Universal Studios has the negatives of the film in its vaults. This film is the first on‐screen appearance of Elvis Presley. Weekend Edition ‐ Saturday, October 29, 2005 ∙ Fifty years ago this month, a high school in suburban Cleveland played host to an early concert appearance by Elvis Presley. Cleveland disc jockey Bill Randle regularly used his influence to stage afternoon music assemblies at local high schools, and Elvis' Oct. 20, 1955 performance at Brooklyn High School was captured as part of a documentary about Randle. But, soon after that, the film disappeared and ever since, the missing footage has become the holy grail of Elvis fans. New Jersey musician Chris Kennedy grew up in a family of Elvis fans, and has made it his mission to find the footage.

    “Blue Suede Shoes”—Carl Perkins (1955) Added to the National Registry: 2006 Essay by Mark Bristol with Ken Burke (Guest Post)*

    “Blue Suede Shoes”—Carl Perkins (1955) Added to the National Registry: 2006 Essay by Mark Bristol with Ken Burke (guest post)* Carl Perkins Raised by sharecroppers near Tiptonville, TN, Carl Perkins grew up on Southern Gospel music both from church and from African-American field hands. Roy Acuff and Bill Monroe's music on the “Grand Ole Opry” gave Carl the urge to play guitar, so his dad made him his first one out of a cigar box, later buying him a used and battered Gene Autry model. Young Perkins learned some chords and licks from “Uncle” John Westbrook, a neighboring sharecropper, songs like “Matchbox Blues” (which he later recorded), and how to connect the sound from the strings to his soul. At 14, he wrote “Let Me Take You To The Movie Magg,” which later convinced Sam Phillips to offer him a Sun Records contract, after Carl begged for a chance to be heard. Carl had been playing the beer joints around Jackson, TN, and on local radio with his brothers Jay and Clayton (and later on with W.S. “Fluke” Holland on drums) when his wife Val heard Elvis' version of “Blue Moon Of Kentucky” on the radio and said to Carl, “That sounds like y'all's music.” “Movie Magg” was released March 19, 1955 on Phillips' Flip label, with the much more country “Turn Around” on the other side becoming a regional success. Johnny Cash had become a Sun artist by then, and he, Elvis and Perkins toured regionally together. Carl's second record “Gone, Gone, Gone” was released on Sun, and also was a regional success, with “Let The Jukebox Keep On Playing” on its flipside.

It explores how the combination of de facto segregation and rock and roll shaped attitudes about race for those coming of age after the Second World War. Population changes during the Second Great Migration helped bring the sound of southern black music to northern cities like Cleveland, and provided fertile ground for rock and roll to flourish, and for racial prejudice to be confronted. Critics blamed the music for violence, juvenile delinquency, and sexual depravity, among other social problems. In reality, the music facilitated racial understanding, and gave black and white artists an outlet through which they could express their hopes and frustrations about their lives and communities. Through the years, the music provided a window into the lives of “the other” that young Americans in a segregated environment might not otherwise experience.
