Rock-Ola Press Kit Company Fact Sheet
Mr. Rock-Ola released his first jukebox in 1935, the same year the Boswell Sisters released a song called “Rock and Roll,” and nearly 14 years before the birth of rock’n roll as a musical genre. Mr. Rock-Ola’s jukes became known as “rock boxes.” So while legendary Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed is credited with coining the phrase rock ‘n’ roll, it was Mr. Rockola’s namesake that was partially inspirational.

Rock-Ola Press Kit Biography: Glenn Streeter
Glenn Streeter, owner of Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corporation, is as much a name in the jukebox industry as the Rock-Ola itself. Having owned and operated Rock-Ola for nearly 15 years, Streeter takes pride in the fact that he is only the second owner of Rock-Ola, a private company with legendary status, dedicated to the business for the love of the jukebox, rather than strictly capitalistic gain.
