In the early days of pop music this pioneer radio DJ in Boston got fired after playing Rhythm & Blues for the white audience. He discovered teen idol Freddie 'Boom Boom' Cannon and with American Bandstand's Dick Clark, brought him musical fame. Jack's wife, Beverly McDermott was a leading casting agent for film and TV and Jack's stories are filled with delightful chunks of unheard behind the scenes goings on. Jackie Gleason, Frank Sinatra and Burt Reynolds all add to the story.
