MATT THE CAT & THE JUKE IN THE BACK WITH A
FEATURE ON THE CARDINALS IN ROCK-IT RADIO #4352
The Cardinals
The Cardinals only scored 3 R&B hits, but all 3 made the top ten
and are considered classics today. The group formed in Baltimore
in late 1946 and came to the attention of Ahmet Ertegun and Herb
Abramson, co-founders of Atlantic Records in very early 1951.
They were signed immediately and soon Atlantic sent their house
arranger, Jesse Stone, down to Baltimore to work with the group
and prep them for their first recording session, which was held in
March, 1951. The Cardinals, who were known as the Mellotones
at that time, were used to singing pop songs. Jesse Stone had to
give them that R&B sound. Their first release, "Shouldn't I Know,"
climbed the R&B charts and put The Cardinals on the map.
Their version of "The Wheel Of Fortune" in 1952 is considered the
definitive R&B version of that song today as is their 1955 rendition
of the Chuck Willis penned tune, "The Door Is Still Open." Lead
tenor Ernie Warren has one of the most beautiful and distinguishable
voices in all of early R&B and Matt The Cat brings The Cardinals'
music and legacy to life on this week's "Juke In The Back."
1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947
2. For Awhile - The Cardinals - Atlantic 1953 (Prev. Unreleased)
3. Shouldn't I Know - The Cardinals - Atlantic 1951
4. Pretty Baby Blues - The Cardinals - Atlantic 1952
5. I'll Always Love You - The Cardinals - Atlantic 1952

8. Lovie Darling - The Cardinals - Atlantic 1953
9. You Are My Only Love - The Cardinals - Atlantic 1953
10. Under A Blanket Of Blue - The Cardinals - Atlantic 1954
11. Misirlou - The Cardinals - Atlantic 1955

AL 'COOL DADDY' SMITH WITH A FEATURE ON NAT KING
COLE AND HIS INFLUENCE ON R&B AND ROCK ON SHOW
#4360
This show is a tribute to a surprising Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
inductee Nat King Cole! As strange as this may seem to most folks,
Nat and his drummerless trio had a huge impact on the development
of the music genre we love. Most of this impact was felt from 1940-46
and many recordings from these years are featured as well as a few
that are more illustrative of the style for which he is known.
This is done for the sake of demonstrating the change in style that
proved so successful for him during the Fifties and up until his death in
1965.
His participation in what may have been the firsts Rock and Roll record
(Blues Parts One and Two) is featured as well.
Thanks to Lane Quigley for his help with assembling some of the music.
The play list is as follows:
1. Mr. Cole Wont Rock and Roll-Nat King Cole...1960 (9 minutes)
2. Straighten Up and Fly Right-Nat King Cole Trio 1943
3. (Get Your Kicks On ) Route 66-Nat King Cole Trio 1946
4. Call The Police-Nat King Cole 1941
5. Autumn Leaves-Nat King Cole 1956
6. Scotchin' With The Soda-Nat King Cole Trio 1941
7. Early Morning Blues-Nat King Cole Trio 1941
8. I Like To Riff-Nat King Cole Trio 1941
9. Sweet Lorraine-Nat King Cole Trio 1940
10. Vom, Vim, Veedle-Nat King Cole Trio 1942
11. Bring Another Drink-Nat King Cole Trio 1944
12. Hit That Jive Jack-Nat King Cole Trio 1941
13. That Ain't Right-Nat King Cole Trio 1941
14. Tenderly-Nat King Cole 1957
15. Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby-Nat King Cole Trio 1944
16. Send For Me-Nat King Cole 1957
17. Blues Part One (some) Blues Part Two(all)...1944(6 Minutes)
Thank you Al for this feature on Nat King Cole.
His influence on Rock & Roll should not be overlooked. If you would
like to write to Al with upcoming show ideas, comments, hello's etc.
