MATT THE CAT & THE JUKE IN THE BACK WITH A
FEATURE ON LITTLE ESTHER IN ROCK-IT RADIO #4362
Little Esther Phillips
Esther Mae Jones is one of the First Ladies of R&B, yet her 1950s
output under the name Little Esther is sadly overlooked. Little Esther
was discovered by bandleader Johnny Otis in 1949, when she was
only 14 years old. Otis immediately added her to his musical ensemble.
He had scored a few hits before, but nothing could have prepared Otis
for his HUGE 1950 breakthrough record, "Double Crossing Blues,"
featuring Little Esther and The Robins. Otis and his group dominated
the R&B lists in 1950, scoring three #1 hit records and six R&B top
tens, all featuring Little Esther. This week, Matt The Cat examines
Little Esther's records with Otis as well as her duets with The Dominoes,
Bobby Nunn, Little Willie Littlefield and her many solo sides for the
Federal and Savoy labels. Esther Jones would gain much recognition
as Esther Phillips in the 1960s and '70s, but as a teen in the 1950s,
Little Esther laid the groundwork for musical genius. The spotlight
shines bright on Little Esther, this week on the "Juke In The Back."
This is the "soul that came BEFORE rock n' roll."
1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947
2. Mean Ole Gal - Little Esther with Johnny Otis & His Orch - Modern 1950
3. Double Crossing Blues - Johnny Otis Quintette - Savoy 1950

SAVE THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING HASSLE THRU AMAZON
DOT COM! AND SUPPORT ROCK-IT RADIO AT SAME TIME.
We have a new link on our main webpage at www.rockitradio.net
towards the middle of the page - a large brown Amazon rectangle.
When you click and shop here - you don't pay anymore then the
usual Amazon.com site but it does give a small amount to Rock-it
Radio for using that link.
I think if you start shopping at this link you will find some pretty
good savings as well. Rock-it Radio is currently getting all of
there office supplies from Amazon. As we generally find probably
a 20% discount from Staples, Office Max and Office Depot.
Also, the electronics, music and everything under the sun they
offer.

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.
