Lopez Sees End Of Rock And Roll
Longtime band leader Vincent Lopez told the High Point Executives Club at Sedgefield Manor that rock and roll would fade and be replaced by an ethereal sound from compact groups. He traced nine year music cycles from 1900 to 1962, recalled discovering Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey and Glenn Miller, and noted he and his band still perform at the Hotel Taft Grill in New York City since 1941.
