 | | Alan Freed, also known as Moondog (December 15, 1922 – January 20, 1965) was an American disc-jockey (DJ) who became internationally known for promoting African-American Rhythm and Blues (RandB) music on the radio in the United States and Europe under the name of Rock and Roll. |
 | | Although director Floyd Mutrux created a fictionalised account of Freed's last days in New York radio by utilising real-life elements outside of their actual chronology, the film does accurately convey the fond relationship between Freed, the musicians he played and the audiences who listened to them. |
 | | Several notable personalities starred in the movie, who would later become well-known celebrities, including Jay Leno and Fran Drescher, and there were even cameo appearances by Chuck Berry, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Frankie Ford and Jerry Lee Lewis, performing in the recording studio and concert sequences. |
