Alan Freed....without him, the Platters, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino , Jerry Lee Lewis , would have gone largely unknown
His importance cannot be overstated. You deserve to still be in the Hall of Fame, it wouldn’t have existed without you

Well, Sad to say , Barry White was not the piano player on Jessie Belvin's song, Goodnight My Love..
Barry White in a 1995 interview has denied playing on this song..
