Summary of Lenny Kaye's Lightning Striking

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Arena on Euclid, Ohio, on March 21, 1950, was the site of the Moondog Coronation Ball, hosted by WJW disc jockey Alan Freed. The bill promised a raucous time, but most of the performers were between or awaiting hits. Freed played records supplied by Leo Mintz, whose Record Rendezvous has been recycling used jukebox 78s since 1939.

#2 The Dominoes were a group of musicians that were handpicked by Billy Williams to be in his band. They had a secular conversion from the gospel song Have Mercy Jesus. Clyde McPhatter was the voice of the Dominoes, and he quit the group to lead the Drifters in 1955.

#3 The Moondog Maytime Ball was held three nights at the Arena, accompanied by fifty extra police officers. Two years later, Freed was on his way to New York City, WINS, television, movies, and holidays at the Paramount.
