MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW ON ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #4763 - SPOTLITE ON THE GRIFFIN BROTHERS
The Griffin Brothers
This week, "Juke In The Back" features The Griffin Brothers,
one of the unsung Rhythm & Blues groups from the early 1950s.
Jimmy
and "Buddy" Griffin began in their hometown of Norfolk, VA in the late
'40 playing jump blues. They settled in Washington, DC and were asked to
backup Roy Brown on "Hard Luck Blues" in April, 1950. That recorded
went to #1 in August and soon the brothers had their own record deal
with Randy Wood's Dot Records out of Gallatin, TN. With vocalists Margie
Day and Tommy Brown,
The Griffin Brothers Orchestra scored six charting R&B hits from
1950-52, before embarking on separate solo careers in 1954.
Matt The Cat features The Griffin's biggest hits, jumpin' B-sides
and solo records on this week's "Juke." The Griffin Brothers were
an important part of R&B's rise, scoring a #1 smash in early 1952
with "Weepin' & Cryin'" (featuring Tommy Brown on lead vocals)
and now they're finally getting their due, even if time has left
them behind.

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
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

at the top of the page. When you click there leave your e mail address
and you are in...it's free and it gives you the playlists and news on
our latest shows.
============================================
OUR SISTER STATION FIRST NATIONS BROADCASTING.
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!
============================================
Well that is just about it for this newsletter and playlists of our latest
shows. We hope that you enjoy them.

days and hopefully 21 days.
