History was made when Motown and Stax and later Atlantic records joined the wave of music in demand by young people. Radio played a vital role in the distribution of this music as owning records was not always an option in those days.
Now The News
Audiences all over were glued to radios for news, weather, and a sense of community by way of music, request shows, and dedications.
The motion picture American Graffitti captures the warmth and angst of those formative years in both teenagers and America. The great Dj Wolfman Jack hosts a widely heard radio show shared by young people. He died at his home in Belvidere North Carolina and is buried there.

Of beach music has a similar evolution from blues, soul origins, later developed by local bands with a regional audience base.
