“Rocking America” is legendary program director Rick Sklar's acclaimed story of how he developed and perfected the much-imitated, all-hit radio format that kicked off the boom years of rock & roll radio and turned Music radio 77 WABC into the most listened-to station in the history of broadcasting. Sklar recounts the crazy promotional stunts, the antics and genius of disc jockeys like "Cousin Brucie" Morrow, Murray the K and Alan Freed, the ratings wars, and the rise of the superstars whose earliest records he played and "made" - Paul Anka, the Beatles, Barbra Streisand, Elton John and dozens more. It is the story of rock & roll radio in the 1960s and 1970s.
