MATT THE CAT & THE JUKE IN THE BACK WITH A
FEATURE ON MARVIN PHILLIPS IN ROCK-IT RADIO #4373
Marvin Phillips
Marvin Phillips is important to post WWII rhythm & blues,
because he, along with Jesse Belvin helped to popularize the R&B
duo. Jesse and Marvin scored an enormous hit in 1952 with the ballad,
"Dream Girl," thus paving the way for future R&B duos like Shirley & Lee,
Gene & Eunice, Robert & Johnny, Don & Dewey and Marvin's own,
Marvin & Johnny. This week's "Juke In The Back" takes a look at
Marvin Phillips' impressive career, from his first record in 1950, singing
lead with Richard Lewis & The Barons to Marvin & Johnny's short stint
on Aladdin Records in 1957. Along the way, Jesse Belvin weaves in and
out of Marvin's singing career and a diverse array of records are recorded.
Matt The Cat spotlights this oft unsung hero of Los Angeles R&B,
Marvin Phillips, on this week's "Juke In The Back."
1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947
2. Forever - Richard Lewis & The Barons - Modern 1950

AL 'COOL DADDY' SMITH AND FOCUS OF 'END' RECORDS
ON ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #4380
This show is a tribute to the 'Last of the Great Blues Shouters'
Bob 'H-Bomb' Ferguson. A contemporary of Big Joe Turner,
Wynonie Harris and Roy Brown he is given little credit in helping in
the development of Rock and Roll. This is probably the result of the
fact that he could sound like Wynonie Harris and was made to do that
by some of the record companies that employed him.
This caused him to be dismissed as a Harris clone. As we shall see he
was much more than that and deserves to be among those considered
to be early pioneers of Rock and Roll.

7. Rock H-Bomb Rock-H-Bomb Ferguson 1951
8. I Love My Baby-H-Bomb Ferguson 1951
9. Preachin' Blues-H-Bomb Ferguson 1952
10. Bloodshot Eyes-Wynonie Harris 1951
11. My Love-H-Bomb Ferguson 1951
12. Feel Like I Do-H-Bomb Ferguson 1951
13. Good Lovin'-H-Bomb Ferguson 1952
14. Give It Up-H-Bomb Ferguson 1952
15. New Way Blues-H-Bomb Ferguson 1952
16. Life Is Hard-H-Bomb Ferguson 1952
17. Tortured Love-H-Bomb Ferguson/ Varetta Dillard 1952

DOO WOP GREAT EARL 'SPEEDO' CARROLL PASSES AWAY
AT 75.
Earlier this week - we received this bit of Sad News from Matt the
Cat.
It is with great sadness that I report that Earl "Speedo" Carroll of
the Cadillacs and Coasters died the morning of November 25th in
NYC at 75. I was fortunate enough to interview Earl on his 70th birthday
in 2007 and will immediately begin putting together a "Juke In The Back"
on The Cadillacs to air next week. This death hits close to home for me
as I've always loved the Cadillacs and Earl was one of the nicest guys
I ever met.
When we broke this story earlier this week in our facebook site
many listener's replied of the great memories they had of him and some
mentioned they had just seem him the night before on PBS. In the
Doo Wop specials they host.

=============================================
MICKEY OF MICKEY AND SYLVIA PASSES AWAY
Matt the Cat also reported that:
One of the greatest session guitar players of ALL-TIME, Mickey Baker,
passed away on November 27th in France at age 87. He will always be
remembered as the Mickey in Mickey & Silvia, but you rock n' rollers
know how deep his guitar sound goes...deep into records by The Drifters,
Ray Charles, Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner and even Coleman Hawkins.
Mickey's dream early on was to be a jazz guitarist. He went a whole lot
further as one of R&B and early Rock n' Roll's go-to guitar Gods.
His music partner of the 50s Sylvia Robinson passed away earlier this
year. |

again. If you are part of Twitter please give us a follow at:

ROCK-IT RADIO LAUNCHING PAD PLEA FROM ROCK-IT
RADIO.
Rock-it Radio is publicly supported and we rely on purchases from
our Launching Pad for us to pay our bills from copyright to bandwidth.
In October we had our 2nd worse month in sales and
have run in the red with losses the last two months and November
has gotten to a slow start as well.
So many things are happening in the world from Hurricane Sandy
victims to a difficult economy and so much more, I feel guilty in
mentioning this.
But if you have enjoyed Rock-it Radio this past year would you
please consider helping us exist? We don't ask something for
nothing. Every donation from the Rock-it Radio Launching pad
you will receive a vintage Rock and Roll broadcast of your choice
from the 50s thru the 70s and we have 100s to choose from.
I know many of you save our shows on mp3 and we allow that
and glad that you can do that. But we kindly ask for your support
as well. These vintage shows also make great Holiday gifts to the
oldies lovers in your family. Here are the links that help 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 25 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.
