When you picture a "jukebox" you
see images of young teenagers rockin' round the
clock, dancing to a swinging beat or at the very
least it will invoke images of 'The Fonz' !
The term "jukebox" started around the 1930s in
the United States and is apparently derived from
the African-American slang term "juke" or "jook",
meaning "dance".
The jukebox or music box was first seen back in
the late 1800's but it didn't gain in popularity
until they could be electrically run and
amplified and the first selective jukebox was
built in 1928.
