MATT THE CAT & THE JUKE IN THE BACK WITH A
FEATURE ON THE PENGUINS INCLUDING INTERVIEW WITH
CLEVE DUNCAN IN ROCK-IT RADIO #4383
The Penguins
The Penguins' "Earth Angel" was the first rhythm & blues song to
crossover into the pop world in such a big way that it announced the
beginning of what was to be called "rock n' roll."
"Earth Angel" remains one of the most enduring songs in the history of
recorded music and yet when it was released in late 1954, it received
very little promotion from the record company. It's a rare example of a
song that became a huge hit based on its own merits. The Penguins' lead
vocalist, Cleve Duncan, who passed away on November 6, 2012 while
waiting in line to vote, talks with Matt The Cat about The Penguins'
beginnings, "Earth Angel" and the 1950s music scene. Cleve Duncan
tells the Penguins' story in his own words, while Matt The Cat digs
deep into the archives to pull out some surprises, like both of the Penguins'
live performances from a 1956 Alan Freed show. Grab a few nickels, as
we pay tribute to one of LA's great vocal groups while the juke jumps
with the best of The Penguins.
1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947
2. Earth Angel - The Penguins - LIVE on Alan Freed's Rock n' Roll Dance Party - 1956

DAVE BRUBECK JAZZ GREAT PASSES AWAY AT 91
Last Wednesday on December 5th we received a e mail from
Studio C with Al Smith that Dave Brubeck passed away that
morning at the age of 91.
A giant in jazz has died today, Dave Brubeck.
He was as much a part of the 50's and 60's as the music we play on Rock-it.
In fact, the cool kids in my high school would claim their knowledge of his
music whether that was true or not and this during a time when Rock and Roll
was at its height!!
Paul Desmond who was in his quartet played Alto Sax and was simply ethereal.
Listen to 'Take Five' on Youtube to see that demonstrated.
Here is a link here from Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faJE92phKzI
We will not see his like again.

=============================================

ROCK-IT RADIO LAUNCHING PAD PLEA FROM ROCK-IT
RADIO.
Rock-it Radio is publicly supported and we rely on purchases from
our Launching Pad for us to pay our bills from copyright to bandwidth.
In October we had our 2nd worse month in sales and
have run in the red with losses the last two months and November
has gotten to a slow start as well.
So many things are happening in the world from Hurricane Sandy
victims to a difficult economy and so much more, I feel guilty in
mentioning this.
But if you have enjoyed Rock-it Radio this past year would you
please consider helping us exist? We don't ask something for
nothing. Every donation from the Rock-it Radio Launching pad
you will receive a vintage Rock and Roll broadcast of your choice
from the 50s thru the 70s and we have 100s to choose from.
I know many of you save our shows on mp3 and we allow that
and glad that you can do that. But we kindly ask for your support
as well. These vintage shows also make great Holiday gifts to the
oldies lovers in your family. Here are the links that help Rock-it
Radio.

Rock-it Radio Program Webpage Reminder
Remember, if the show
that you want to hear is getting close to the bottom of the list of
radio shows, you should tune in as soon as you can. These shows to have a
high audio quality require a lot of internet bandwidth and memory. And
currently we can only afford the 25 latest shows online here at Rock-it
Radio. So, when a new show is put online it knocks the oldest one off
the Rock-it Radio archives page. Usually a show will at least last 16
to 20 days, once it is placed in the archives.
============================================
