Chedwick was the first white DJ to present a racially
diverse audience in a major eastern American city a steady
diet of what were, in the summer of 1948, called "race
records." The trail he blazed--some 4 years before
the more famous Pennsylvania native, Alan Freed, called
the music "rock and roll"--was a dual one. Chedwick's
original playlist was comprised of old R&B and gospel
records that he had collected over the years, making him
the world's first bona fide oldies DJ. |
