THE RECORD BREAKING WEEK St. Louis radio station KWK finished up its Record-Breaking Week on January 20th, 1958. During the week, disc jockeys gave every rock and roll record in the library a farewell spin, and then smashed it to bits on the air. Station manager Robert Convey called it a simple weeding out of undesirable music. I decided on this action after conferring with our disk jockeys and finding their complete agreement that rock ‘n’ roll has dominated the popular music field long enough.” In response, Danny and The Juniors were inspired to record Rock and Roll is Here to Stay.
