The Voice That Rocked America: The Dick Biondi Story

The Dick Biondi program is the story of rock 'n 'roll radio and the DJ who was there from the very beginning. Reserve a seat now for a great evening. In the 1950’s and 60’s rock n’ roll took America by storm, fueled by the power of radio. But disc jockeys held the real power. DJs decided what records to play; they could make or break an artist’s career. In many ways, DJs were more popular than the artists they played. With bands vying for airplay and DJs fighting to be number one, an original and irreverent voice cut through the airwaves. He broke The Beatles and The Beach Boys and championed young artists like Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Bobby Darin, and The Rolling Stones. Biondi’s rebellious on-air style clashed with management and he was fired from dozens of radio stations. But kids adored him. If rock n’ roll was the soundtrack of hot-blooded teenage America, Dick Biondi was its voice.
