MATT THE CAT & THE JUKE IN THE BACK IS BACK WITH
PART I TRIBUTE TO THE MOONGLOWS IN SHOW #4921
The Moonglows, Pt. 1
Much has been written about the great R&B vocal groups of the 1950s.
Many of the classic groups were either great musicians and vocalists
and never had the recognition or record sales to back it up or these
groups were thrown together, they couldn't sing very well and scored
one, solid hit that still spins in the eternal jukebox of public
consciousness. The Moonglows were one of the few groups to come out
of the post World War II, pre-Elvis era, who were extremely talented
and had the sales figures and notoriety to back it up.
Originally called The Crazy Sounds, Harvey Fuqua and Bobby Lester led
The Moonglows to a #1 R&B smash in 1954 with 'Sincerely' on Chess,
but that was after a somewhat bumpy start on Alan Freed's Champagne
Records and Chicago's Chance Records. This week, Matt The Cat presents
part 1 of a 2 part feature on the fantastic Moonglows, covering their
career from 1953 to 1955. Vocal harmony doesn't get much sweeter than
this, so don't miss one note of this week's "Juke in the Back"
program.
1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons Mercury 1947
2. I Just Can't Tell No Lie - The Moonglows Champagne 1953
3. Baby Please - The Moonglows w/ Red Holloway Orch Chance 1953
4. Secret Love - The Moonglows w/ Red Holloway Orch Chance 1954
5. Real Gone Mama - The Moonglows w/ Red Holloway Orch Chance 1954
6. I Was Wrong â€" The Moonglows w/ Red Holloway Orch Chance 1954
7. 219 Train - The Moonglows w/ Red Holloway Orch Chance 1954
8. Sincerely - The Moonglows Chess 1954
9. Tempting - The Moonglows Chess 1954
10. Shoo Doo-Be-Doo (My Loving Baby) - Bobby Lester & The Moonlighters Checker 1954
11. So All Alone - Bobby Lester & The Moonlighters Checker 1954
12. Most Of All - The Moonglows â€" Chess 1955
13. *GREAT 78* I've Been Your Dog (Ever Since I've Been Your Man) Moonglows Champagne 1953
14. She's Gone - The Moonglows Chess 1955
15. I'm In Love - The Moonglows Chess 1955
16. In My Diary - The Moonglows Chess 1955
17. After Hours - Erskine Hawkins Bluebird 1946

Rockabilly bands looking for airplay
If you or know someone that would like airplay on Rock-it Radio we invite you to submit your press kits to Rock-it Radio. Our website for further information is: http://www.rockitradio.net/airplay.html
============================================ Latest openings at 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 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
