MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW ON ROCK-IT
RADIO SHOW #4838 - SPOTLIGHT ON JUKEBOX 1954 Pt. 2

1954: Jukebox Rhythm Review, Pt. 2

1954 was a pivotal year for American Music. The lines between
Rhythm & Blues and Pop were getting blurred as more and more
R&B records crossed over into the Pop Chart, causing a brand new
youth market to open up. American teens of all colors were diggin
that jump blues sound that had been a staple on Black Radio for
years. This would lead to racial integration and eventually,
the Civil Rights Movement. There is no doubt that music played
an important role in the early days of Civil Rights and those
roots can be traced back to the Black Music of 1954.
In fact, this was the year that a young, white kid from Memphis
named Elvis began recording at 706 Union Avenue.
It was also a year of unlikely musical heroes as 43 year old
Joe Turner, who had been making records since 1938, topped the
R&B Chart twice, helping to propel Rock n Roll Music to the
forefront. Vocal groups like the Chords, The Charms, The Five Keys
and The Drifters were forging a new sub-genre that would come
to be called Doo Wop. This week in part 2, Matt The Cat focuses
on the biggest jukebox hits of the second half of 1954.
So grab a handful of nickels, cause you re gonna need em to keep
the Juke In The Back jumping as we highlight the momentous year
of 1954.

1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947
2. Honey Love - The Drifters Feat. Clyde McPhatter - Atlantic 1954
3. Sh-Boom - The Chords - Cat 1954
4. Sexy Ways - The Midnighters - Federal 1954
5. Oh What A Dream - Ruth Brown & Her Rhythmakers - Atlantic 1954
6. Annie Had A Baby - The Midnighters - Federal 1954
7. I'm Ready - Muddy Waters & His Guitar - Chess 1954
8. Hurts Me To My Heart - Faye Adams - Herald 1954
9. I Don't Hurt Anymore - Dinah Washington - Mercury 1954
10. Mambo Baby - Ruth Brown & Her Rhythmakers - Atlantic 1954
11. Hearts Of Stone - The Charms - DeLuxe 1954
12. Reconsider Baby - Lowell Fulson - Checker 1954
13. GREAT 78 - Oop Shoop - Shirley Gunter & "The Queens" - Flair 1954

AL COOL DADDY SMITH WITH A R&B TRIBUTE TO
JACK MCVEA ON ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #4840

This show is the first of a two part series on the recordings
of R&B pioneer Jack McVea. Probably best known for his hit record
of Open the Door Richard in 1957, he was much more than just a
one hit wonder. He had an outstanding career both as a Jazz and
an R&B sax player. As well he was the leader of his own band that
recorded separately from the many  artists  that he and or his
band backed. Such artists as T-Bone Walker, Wynonie Harris,
Lionel Hampton, The Savoys,The Laurels etc.  all benefited from
his expertise. As well Jack McVea participated in arguably
the first two Rock and Roll records playing as he did on Lionel Hampton
song Flying Home in 1942 and Blues Parts One and Two recorded at
Jazz At The Philharmonic (JATP) in 1944.
These shows will feature both his work as a band leader as
well as his efforts as a participant in the music of others.
It is long overdue that this under rated but supremely important
contributor to Rock and Roll was featured on Rock-it Radio.
The wait is over.

The play list is as follows:

1. Bar Tender Boogie Jack McVea and His All Stars  1945
2. Wino-Jack McVea and His All Stars   1945
3. House Party Boogie-Jack McVea and His All Stars  1946
4. Frisco Blues-Jack McVea and His All Stars  1945
5. Flying Home- Lionel Hampton and His Orchestra  1942
6. Yaka Boo-Jack McVea and His Orchestra  1955
7. Tarrant Blues-Jack McVea and His All Stars  1945
8. We're Together Again-Jack McVea and His All Stars  1945
9. Tequila Hop-Jack McVea and His  Orchestra  1954
10. No Worry Blues - T-Bone Walker  1946
11. Don't Worry Baby-T-Bone Walker  1946
12. Crows Being Evicted-Jack McVea and His Door Openers  1947
13. Open The Door Richard-Jack McVea and His All Stars   1946/47
14. Chop Chop Boom-Jack McVea and His Orchestra with The savoys  1955
15. The Key's In The Mail Box-Jack McVea and His Door Openers  1947
16. Yacka Hoom Boom-Jack McVea and His Orchestra with The Savoys  1955
17. Inflation Blues-Jack McVea and His Door Openers  1947
18. Fine Fine Baby-Jack McVea and His Orchestra with The Laurels  1955
19. Boby Sox Blues-T-Bone Walker 1946
20. Young Man's Blues-Wynonie Harris   1945

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 30 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.

============================================
Come Join the Rock-it Listener's Club

Want to join our Listeners Club?? And be notified when new shows are playing on the Rock-it. If you are not a member of our listeners club it is really easy to join... just go to our main website at: http://www.rockitradio.net

We invite you to also check out our sister station -- First Nations
Broadcasting. And tune into the rather Cool North of the Yukon and Alaska with our very own Debbie Snowdove!

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