MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW ON
ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #6703 SPOTLIGHT ON THE HOLLYWOOD
FLAMES!

The Hollywood Flames recorded for nearly 20 different
record labels and had numerous personnel changes over
their 18 year history, but they always remained popular
in their native Southern California. Formed in 1949 at a
local talent show, David Ford was the only member of the
group to remain for its entire existence. Bobby Byrd, who
was there from the beginning, remained until he began to
have solo hits as Bobby Day. Other notable R&B names,
Curtis Williams, Earl Nelson and Gaynel Hodge, passed through
the Hollywood Flames revolving door of vocalists and helped
round out their sound. The name of the group changed almost
as many times as the record labels and personnel, but there
was a constant quality to the records they made. Though they
only touched the national chart in a big way with "Buzz-Buzz-Buzz"
in 1957 for Ebb records, the Hollywood Flames cut some fantastic
sides for Specialty (as the Four Flames), 7-11 (as the Jets),
Money (as The Turks) and Class (as Bob & Earl and Bobby Day &
The Satellites). This week, Matt The Cat tries to make sense of
this group's very confusing and convoluted history and along the way,
discovers some of the best West Coast R&B Vocal Group records every made.

1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons & His Rhythm Kings - Mercury 1947
2. Please Tell Me Now - The Flames - Selective 1950
3. WINE - Hollywood Four Flames - Unique 1951
4. Wheel Of Fortune - The Four Flames - Specialty 1952
5. She's Got Something - The Hollywood Flames w/ Music by Que Martyn - Recorded In Hollywood 1952
6. Volcano - The Jets - 7-11 1953
7. Gomen Nasai - The Jets - 7-11 1953
8. Keep On Smiling - The Flames - 7-11 1953
9. I Know - The Hollywood Flames - Swing Time 1953
10. One Night With A Fool - The Hollywood Flames - Lucky 1954
11. Ooh La La - The Hollywood Flames - Lucky 1954
12. Emily - The Turks - Money 1955
13. GREAT 78 - You Made a Boo Boo - Bob & Earl - Class 1957
14. Little Bitty Pretty One - Bobby Day & The Satellites - Class 1957
15. Buzz-Buzz-Buzz - The Hollywood Flames - Ebb 1957
16. Crazy - Hollywood Flames - Ebby 1957
17. Over And Over - Bobby Day - Class 1958
18. After Hours - Erskine Hawkins & His Orch - Bluebird 1946

a true classic of Lane Quigley and his interview and show
with Hunter Hancock - a Los Angeles DJ icon and first DJ to ever have
his own R&B radio show!  The story is told in the re broadcast
here and hope you get to enjoy it one more time.

HUGE ORDERS PUT ROCK-IT RADIO ON BACK ORDER

What a great bunch of supporters you have all been through
the years!!!  The response of our final month has literally
been overwhelming.  We are working hard to get your orders
out as soon as possible.  But honestly in might be mid October
before we do.  It takes 5 to 10 minutes to make a CD copy
of the shows we sell.  And we have gotten several hundred
requests and payments.  Last week we couldn't work a full
week - The Wildfires from Washington, Oregon and California
seemed to of all blown here in Idaho.  And for the first time
in History we hit the Air Quality category of Hazardous matter
of fact the scale for that the maximum is 500.  And we were
reportedly above that at some times.  And with my lungs I just
had to not even do studio work here.  
But we are getting them done and rest assured we will get them
to you. 
===================

LAST DAY TO ORDER OUR VINTAGE RADIO BROADCASTS AND
OUR SHOWS WILL BE 30 SEPTEMBER.

We are still taking your orders and please just give us
a little time to get them to you.  If you wish to have
any of our vintage radio broadcasts from the 50s through
the 70s.  You can still order off of us at:

===================================================
OUR FINAL FLASH DRIVE HAS BEEN RELEASED
#26!!!  FEATURING OUR FINAL 58 SHOWS.

It's not an exactly even number but we had to finish
with all of our shows left.  
It is our 26th flashdrive and will be available through
9/30/2020 and features all the Rock-it Radio shows #6651
to #6708.  Nearly 60 of our last shows on Rock-it Radio.  
Cost is $39.95 and is available at
http://www.rockitradio.net/flashdrive.html

===================================================
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ROCKITRADIO.NET ????

I guess the answer is I am not sure yet.  After we
go silent on 9/30.  I know I am going to be finishing
up on all the final orders here at Rock-it Radio.  In
time I would like to turn it into a tribute page to all
the jocks and finish on the history of Rock-it Radio.  
And make some hobby based websites for my ham radio
endeavors.  I have been asked to do some consulting work
on promotions etc. and that will be depending on my health.
So we shall see.  I will be shutting down the newsletter
portion as that has been a medium based expense in itself
getting it out to all our members.  But whatever we do
you can still find out in our Facebook page at:
http://www.facebook.com/rockitface

===================================================
In closing .....

Lots of great memories flashed through my head as
I was doing this shortened newsletter.  Some great shows
and some great times with great people.  So, many people
to thank from the DJ's that selfishly did the shows here
on Rock-it.  To the supporters that have poured forward even
to the very end to keep the Rock-it flying.  But as the
Rock-it is put up in moth balls, I leave knowing that there
are a lot of other now great online radio stations out there.
When we began there were none playing oldies.  Esp. even back
then playing the songs of the 50s.  And a special thank you
to Lane Quigley our Station Manager and produced and worked
tirelessly for Rock-it!  From way back in 1997 up until the end.
God Bless and Take care one and all!!!  All the Rockin' Best!
