                                                                                                                          King Zbornik, 

. Zbornik started in radio in 1962 and climbed the market ladder, eventually making his way to Milwaukee. It was a much bigger city back then, and Zbornik’s reputation quickly reached beyond it. By 1966, he was popular enough to appear with Dick Clark on American Bandstand, where Clark reportedly introduced him as one of the best rock DJs in the country. He remained in radio until 1976, when he returned to his native Iowa and became a schoolteacher. It wasn’t going to be his second career—it would be his third. In 1957, Zbornik had recorded what is claimed to be the first rock and roll record ever recorded in Iowa: “Janet,” with its flip side “Lovely One.” It was released under the name Jerry Martin and the Sounds on the Fredlo label of Davenport, Iowa.

Fredlo is an interesting tale on its own. Fredlo Studios opened sometime in the 1950s and lasted until at least 1967. Fred and Lois Mauck, the couple who owned it, ran the business out of the main floor of their house and lived upstairs. Fredlo was a bit like Sam Phillips’ Memphis Recording Service, in that aspiring artists paid to record themselves (like Elvis did), but if Fred Mauck liked their sound, he might record the artist at no charge and release the record in hopes of scoring a hit. No Fredlo release ever charted nationally, but several were regional hits, including “Janet.”

Zbornik/Martin later recorded at Chess in Chicago and with Phillips in Memphis, and toured with Frankie Avalon.
