The Story of America's First Integrated Rock-n-Roll Band - John La Torre
traveled.
A historical account shared by John La Torre of Johnny La Torre & the Rhythm Rockets
: America’s First Professional, Racially Integrated, Rock-N-Roll Band.
I would like to share my story of a great neighborhood in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and how we lived in harmony.
Our neighborhood, on Eighth and Kater Street, just half block from South Street, was diversified with many nationalities.
I am a first-generation American of Italian descent. But we came together, both Italian-American, and African-American without prejudice.
We worked hard daily, and we all just wanted to have a good time. Music always brought us together.
I knew a lot of people in the neighborhood because my family owned a poultry store called, Reliable Poultry.
Our truck read, Sam La Torre & Sons, Reliable Poultry.
Our home and store were located in the same building. My family and I worked very hard in our poultry business.
