Wurlitzer One for the Money

on BBC Radio 2

Radio 2 Arts Programme Long before pop music radio, you could only hear rock 'n' roll on the jukebox. The jukebox was the focal point of any self-respecting youth's social life, found in every soda bar and coffee shop, and when you heard Elvis or Buddy booming out of that big speaker you were hooked. For the rock
'n' roll generation, the jukebox was to become not only a shrine, but a collectable piece of modern art. Alan Freeman talks to
Cliff Richard about his collection of machines, and Marty Wilde , Joe Brown , Mike Read , Wally Whyton and many more celebrate a century of jukebox history.
Plus, some fantastic music. A Smooth Operations production
