Date
1965-1982
Size
2.57 (Linear feet)
Scope and Contents
The collection contains materials from mid-1960s to the mid-1980s, a span that covers Roszell's high school years, college years, and professional career. The Ringo Starr scrapbook contains clippings from 1964-1965 and includes his marriage to Maureen Cox and his widely covered tonsillectomy in December of 1964. The scrapbook also contains general clippings about the Beatles, including Beatlemania. Ohio University hosted rock concerts in the Cavern in the early 1970s; the concert posters are from these shows and date from Roszell's time as a student there. Bands include Chicago, Steppenwolf, Mother Earth and Three Dog Night. Atlanta's Video Music Channel was an offshoot of television station WVUE in Atlanta, GA. The station was considered a general entertainment format with a focus on music videos, hence the branding "Atlanta's Video Music Channel." The files from the Video Music Channel include company stationary, business cards, newpaper clippings and references to the donor and her work at the station. The collection is arranged by format and thus chronologically.
