Rock, Rock, Rock is a 1956 black-and-white movie featuring musical performances
from early rock ‘n’ roll stars such as Chuck Berry and Frankie Lymon. Famous disc jockey Alan “Moondog” Freed appears as himself. The singing voice of the main character Dori Graham, played by 13-year-old Tuesday Weld, is that of Connie
Francis. The soundtrack album (shown below) is widely regarded as Chuck Berry’s
first album. Many of the artists featured in the film do not appear on the album, and
only four songs on the album ("Over and Over Again," "I Knew From the Stars,"
"You Can’t Catch Me," and "Would I Be Crying") actually appear in the film.

Alka-Seltzer,the effervescent antacid and pain reliever,was first
marketed by the Dr. Miles Medicine Company and was sold for the
first time on December 3, 1931. It was once advertised as a cure-all;
at one time, its ads even suggested taking it for "the blahs".

King Camp Gillette

King Camp Gillette (January 5, 1855 – July 9, 1932) was a businessman
widely known as the inventor of the safety razor, although several models
were in existence prior to Gillette’s design. Gillette’s innovation was the thin,
inexpensive, disposable blade of stamped steel.

The U.S. Patent Office records show December 1, 1885 as the first time Dr Pepper
was served. It was formulated by Brooklyn-born pharmacist Charles Alderton (below)
in Morrison’s Old Corner Drug Store in Waco, Texas. Store owner Wade Morrison was 
the first to taste test the drink. Patrons of Morrison’s soda fountain soon learned of    
the new drink and began ordering what was called a “Waco”. Alderton gave the
formula to Morrison who then named it Dr Pepper. It was introduced nationally
at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
