Ok, evidently The Dominoes recorded a song, "Sixty Minute Man" in Feb. of 1951. It wasn't released until May of that year...when Alan Freed began playing it, he realized how suggestive the lyrics were. The term "rock and roll" were in the song, so, about a month later {that would have been June 1951}, Freed started using the term "Rock and Roll" to placate those who were prejudiced against "race records".
