BACK IN THE 60s AGAIN PARTS ONE & TWO

Walled Lake Casino Showplace This is where it happened; 25 miles from Detroit on the shores of Walled Lake. It was

never a casino as its name implies, but a dance and showplace of enormous stature.

Beginning with a small dance hall and bath house, then an enormous amusement park

with a roller coaster that could be seen and heard for miles it became a music and

entertainment mecca that was a magnet for performers from every corner of the globe.

First, the big bands. No name was too big. They all came. They wanted to come.

Sinatra, Dorsey, Louis Armstrong, Laurence Welk, Glen Miller. Hundreds more

attracting thousands every week just to listen, dance, and in some years for just a few

hours try and forget the horrors of war and sons and daughters lost.

Then came television and in the 50s a new kind of music.

Radio was playing rock and rhythm and blues.

Young people turned away from the big bands.

With the death of the bands came what seemed to be the end of the

Walled Lake Showplace..





7


248-872-3294

The crowds were no longer there. The bands were gone. The doors were closed.

Red and Cleo Kraemer bought the old dance hall, insulated it and installed heat for the

winters in hopes to revive what it was.

Their efforts failed. The bands were dead and no one cared. Mr. and Mrs. Kraemer

hired a few radio disc jockeys to hold record dances. The DJs would play records and

have some local rock bands perform. There was moderate success, but not enough to

sustain the owners.

It didn’t work.

That’s when it happened. Through a strange set of circumstances the Walled Lake

Showplace was not only reborn; but became a larger version of its former self.

Coinciding with the Motown Music Explosion the entire area became the focus of

entertainers worldwide with their new music. A must place for them to play, to promote

their records and themselves.

For some it placed them on a national stage and made their careers.

The throngs that came during the big band days were small gatherings compared to the

tens of thousands that now jammed Walled Lake and other venues in the microcosm

that for a fleeting era became the music capital of the world..

The Motown music explosion burst upon Detroit.

For years they came.

Bigger names, bigger crowds.

People dancing, laughing, talking, enjoying.

They came there, sang there, and played there, fell in love there.





8


248-872-3294

Stevie Wonder’s first appearance was there,

The Four Seasons, now known on Broadway and other cities as “Jersey Boys” ,

Chuck Berry, the Supremes,

Rolling Stones hundreds of others.

They all came.

They made music, played a part in memories for thousands of people who flocked to

see them. All there on shores of Walled Lake in Novi, Michigan. The signatures of

every performer were inscribed on a secret wall backstage.





9


248-872-3294

Then a mysterious raging fire destroyed it all.

100 men, seven fire departments and 20 pieces of equipment couldn’t save it. The wall

was gone. The Showplace was gone. Ashes in its place. All gone.

All except for the memories.

The 13 acre property where the Showplace was has remained vacant and open land on

the shores of Walled Lake. 40 years have passed. Finally, a result of one man’s

passion for its history and legacy the city of Novi has officially designated it as a park.

There on the shores of Walled Lake are plans to permanently create another special

atmosphere. A place for today with prominent reminders of the historic significance of

the land and what happened there.

Now the Walled Lake Showplace returns. Reborn. This time on television.

The music, the sounds, the entertainers, and many of the people who came week after

week tell their stories, play the music, re-live it all again and relate the real story behind

its re-birth and death..

Interest in. and popularity of these entertainment giants, their music, and stories is

global in scope.

This production will, for the first time place all of it on an international stage.

A Word About the Woodward Dream Cruise

The Woodward Dream Cruise is the world’s largest one-day automotive event, drawing

about 1.5 million people and 40,000 classic cars each year from around the globe. Muscle

cars, street rods, custom, collector and special interest vehicles dating across several

decades.

The majority of the cars on display are those that were available and prevalent during the 1950s,

60s and early 70s. However, the Woodward Dream Cruise also welcomes vehicles of all models

whose owners have either scrupulously maintained or customized their car to create a unique

vehicle or statement. During the post-war era, people would "cruise" in their cars along

Woodward Avenue, from drive-in to drive-in, often looking for peers or friends who were also

out for a drive, and perhaps seeking an opportunity for some street racing or at least a chance to

"burn rubber" (or "light 'em up") in a quick getaway from a newly green traffic light.[3]

Nelson House, a plumber from Ferndale, initiated the idea for the cruise in 1994 to help raise

money for a children's soccer field in his community]

Organizers initially expected 30,000 or 40,000 people to come to the August 19, 1995 inaugural

cruise on Woodward Avenue in Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge, Berkley, Huntington Woods, Royal

Oak and Birmingham. About 250,000 actually showed up.[3]

It is now the largest single day classic car event in the world, and brings in over $56 million

annually for the Metro Detroit economy.[4]

NEWSPAPER ARTICLES RELATING TO THE POPULARITY

PARTS 1 & 2

EDITORIAL

If you‟re old enough to remember just how popular the Walled Lake Casino was then you‟ll

probably be thrilled to hear about Lee Alan‟s plans to revive the entertainment hot spot.

The former deejay / television producer has already earned the approval of Walled Lake

officials and made his pitch to Novi‟s Monday.

Right now, it sounds like a great idea - but more details are needed.

The 13-acre site is owned by the City of Novi, which bought it in the mid-1980s to rebuild

the 13 Mile and Old Novi roads intersection.

A lot has changed since Alan brought in the likes of the Rolling Stones and Stevie Wonder.

Like the fees those artists now charge, our population has also increased enormously.

Is this to be a one-time or annual event, or are the plans to rebuild the venue to its former

stature?

Who are the acts Alan is looking to present?

What kind of impact would this event have on Novi‟s Music & Motor Festival?

These are just some of the questions that need to be addressed. We like Alan‟s concept.

Let‟s move forward and see what challenges it presents and how to meet them.

NEWSPAPER ARTICLES RELATING TO THE POPULARITY OF PARTS 1 & 2 (CONT)

Some four decades ago, dressed in a dark suit and black glasses straight from the set of

MIB, Lee Alan lured thousands of Detroit teens to the Walled Lake Casino with artists like

Chuck Berry and Stevie Wonder.

The glasses are gone and the hair‟s a little thinner, but Alan wants to do it all over again

Even though the casino burned to the ground Christmas Eve 1965 and the site today is a

Novi City Park. But this time he is producing it for national television.

Built in 1925, the sprawling wooden structure played hosts to performers like Artie Shaw,

Frank Sinatra and Lawrence Welk in the 1930s and „40s. By the late „50s the Big Band era

was over, tastes and times had changed and the casino closed and was sold in 1959.

In 1960 the new owners reopened the facility and brought in Alan to promote rock and roll

shows. “The first week we had 500, 600 people. We had 1,500 the second. Then there were

about 4,000 every show. After the fourth week ABC allowed me to broadcast my show from

there.”

Over the next five years the Walled Lake Casino held shows three to four times a week

drawing 3,000 to 4,000 people a show.

Local resident Carol Crawford, who went to the prom at the Walled Lake Casino in 1960,

said she‟s excited about the project.

According to Alan, about the only big names who didn‟t play the Walled Lake Casino in the

early „60s were the Beatles and Elvis. His live radio show, which followed American

Bandstand, helped make the area nationally known and introduced performers like Stevie

Wonder to the world.

The Detroit News

NOVI -- A five part national television series from

the mind of broadcast legend and television producer

Lee Alan is in the works.

Parts 1 & 2 of series will be woven around Michigan, Motown, and Walled Lake

Casino and the days when the casino -- a dance hall -- was a magnet for such big

names as Frank Sinatra, Detroiter Stevie Wonder and the Rolling Stones.

"The casino was known around the world," Alan said. "Recording artists and

entertainment people just packed that place weekend after weekend, year after

year."

Built in 1925, the casino hosted hundreds of the biggest entertainers in the world.

When the Big Band era died out in the late 1950s, the casino was closed and sold.

New owners reopened it in 1960 and hosted sock hops at the hall until 1965, when

it was shuttered for good.

The hall and the site of the former Walled Lake Amusement Park at the south end

of Walled Lake are now vacant and bear no resemblance to their historic past.

Several books about Alan and the Walled Lake Casino have already been

published, and Alan has published his own recollections in the book "Turn Your

Radio On".

National TV Series Planned and we’re In It

FREE PRESS

In its heyday, Walled Lake Casino was one of Detroit's premier music spots -- home to Stevie

Wonder's first gig, the place where Mitch Ryder earned his stripes, Frankie Valli and The Four

Seasons ( Now the Broadway sensation Jersey Boys) and a regular stop for countless national

acts.

Now the lakefront site near 13 Mile and Novi Road, which has sat vacant since the hall burned

is about to get a blast of new life.

If all goes as planned the television series, “Back in the 60s Again” will feature the “Casino”

Spearheading the effort is legendary WXYZ disc jockey and ABC television personality Lee

Alan, who made his name with live broadcasts from the venue in the early '60s.

Other parts of the national TV series will cover The Apollo Theater in New York, The

Philadelphia Music Scene, and of course California Girls where the beaches and surfing were a

major part of music “Back in the 60s”

WALLED LAKE CASINO…

Lee is the producer of hundreds of CD projects: “Back In The 60s” Again, “The Frank Sinatra Story”, “The Americans”, and “A Letter From Michael”, “Flashback” and scores more. Lee was also the Grand Marshall of the Woodward Cruise.

From 1925 through 1965 The Novi, Michigan Walled Lake Casino and was e among the top destinations for entertainment in the United States. Performers for all over the world played “The Casino”. It was never a Casino in today’s sense of the word. In those days some dance halls were called “Dance Casinos”. Thus Walled Lake Casino….

When the Big Bands died Walled Lake Casino in was closed and sold. In the early 60s under new owners, with live broadcasts from the stage at the corner of 13 mile and Novi Road on ABC radio, Lee Alan revived “The Casino”.

Hundreds of thousands came to the shores of Walled Lake in Novi. The area was becoming known for the music of Motown and except for Elvis and the Beatles nearly every entertainer in the world played the storied stages at Walled Lake Casino.
