Tom Hall, a young fan of rock, pop, and soul music, sits down with Studs to give him some perspective on the musical trends of the late 1960s. Such artists as Ben E. King, Jimi Hendrix, and the Pretty Things are discussed.*Please note: some sections have been edited out from the original recording due to copyright considerations
