MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW WITH
A FOCUS ON THE EARLY DOO WOP GROUP -- THE ROBINS IN
SHOW #4247
The Robins
This week, the Juke In The Back features The Robins, one of the
earliest and most influential West Coast R&B vocal groups. They first
appeared on wax in April of 1949 as the 4 Bluebirds, backed up by
bandleader extraordinaire, Johnny Otis, who had discovered the group
at his Barrelhouse Nightclub during a talent competition. Otis had the
Robins duet with Little Esther on the 1950 smash, Double Crossing Blues,
which spent more than 2 months at the top of the R&B charts.
Real fame came when the group hooked up with the young, talented
songwriting duo of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. On their Spark
Records, the Robins scored with Riot In Cell Block #9 and Smokey Joe's
Cafe , two early rock n roll smashes. Two members would leave
The Robins and form The Coasters with Leiber and Stoller and
much of their history is complicated, but host Matt The Cat
gets to the bottom of it all with this Juke In The Back look at
The Robins early career. This truly is the soul that came BEFORE
rock n roll and you will only hear it on the Juke In The Back.
1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947
2. My Baby Done Told Me - The Four Bluebirds - Excelsior 1949
3. Around About Midnight - The Robins - Score 1949

LOTS OF INQUIRIES - WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS
NEW ROCK-IT RADIO STUDIO Z ---
Construction will soon begin for Studio Z at the Rock-it Radio
main studio. Located in the basement, down the hall, through the
fallout shelter in an old semi-abandoned septic tank, Studio Z
will be the home of two crusty old music lovers from L.A.
They bicker a lot and they have distinctively different tastes in
music, but they promise to deliver an entertaining program.
Due to a certain restraining order and the privacy requirements
of the witness protection program, we are not yet permitted
to divulge their identities, so check future Rock-it Radio newsletters
for further details.

MONITORING HURRICANE ISAAC --
The news reports continue in at the studios here at Rock-it Radio
and our thoughts and prayers go out to those living along the
Gulf coast as it is supposed to hit landfall sometime Tuesday night.
Rock-it Radio has a listing for mostly Shortwave and Amateur
Radio enthusiasts for monitoring and frequencies of interest.
But there is also tracking websites as well that might prove of
interest -- including this one website that stays up to date on
Isaac.
Stay safe everyone !!! and our prayers go out to the coast!
