If you think it was Alan Freed, think again. Before Alan Freed first uttered the phrase, Hardrock Gunter was already making records and singing about rock and roll. Granted, Hardrock wasn't the first one to use the term–it had been a slang term for having sex and certainly found its way into a few songs in that context. But Hardrock was the first ever to use it as referring to music. Recorded in1950, "Birmingham Bounce"mentions rock and roll in a musical context for the very first time.
