Freed, Alan (1922-1965)

US disc jockey. He worked for radio stations in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York where he stirred controversy by playing black American rhythm-and-blues records for white audiences and by sponsoring integrated concerts.

He was born in Palm Springs, California. In 1962 he pleaded guilty to commercial bribery during a broadcasting industry scandal, but some believe he was scapegoated for sponsoring black performers.
