MATT THE CAT & THE JUKE IN THE BACK WITH A
FEATURE ON RICHARD BERRY IN ROCK-IT RADIO #4391
Richard Berry
Richard Berry is truly one of the unsung heroes of early rhythm & blues
and rock n roll. That he wrote and recorded the original version of
'Louie Louie' is only scratching the surface of this renaissance man
of R&B. As a teenager at LA's Jefferson High School, he was a founding
member of The Flairs, one of the first great vocal groups to hit the
LA Scene. From there, Berry recorded some solo sides for the Flair,
Modern, RPM and Flip labels. Matt The Cat takes a look and listen to
Richard Berry's early catalog, digging out some of his greatest sides from
his first record with The Flairs to the solo ballad, 'One Little Prayer' his
uncredited vocals on The Robins 'Riot In Cell Block #9' and Etta James
'The Wallflower' (Roll With Me Henry) to the classic 'Have Love Will Travel.
Plus, we'll hear Richard Berry's story in HIS own words through an interview
conducted by former DJ James Austin from the mid-1980s (used with
permission). In the interview, Berry gives a detailed history of how 'Louie Louie'
was inspired, written and received. So catch an intimate visit with the late
Richard Berry, a rhythm & blues icon, on this week 'Juke In The Back.'

NEW STREAM AUDIO FOR CONTINUOUS BROADCAST
OF ROCK-IT RADIO ONLINE.
We have upgraded our stream and with a few starting bugs I
think we have it all worked out. For those that tune us in
on there iphone or podcast thru Tunein.com at:
http://tunein.com/radio/Rock-it-Radio-s41878/
The Tunein.com folks are awesome just for the amount of
stations that they carry! If you don't have it on your iphone
I sure would suggest you grab it! They should be carrying the
new stream in about a week.
We have switched our audio link to a m3u format. This is
a more universal stream and can be received by a wider
variety of formats from iphones, ipods, podcasts and your
home pc on most modern computers. Easily and automatically
recognized by mp3 players etc.
Those that would like to run a test on our audio link in the m3u
format if you have any problems we should would like to hear from
you. The link is:
http://www.rockitradio.net/audio/live.m3u
The stream from our main webpage at rockitradio.net has also
been changed and you can hear it when you click the VU Audio
meter at the top of the page.

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

It is our new Twitter account and we will once again start
scrolling our messages and updates on our webpages as well.

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.

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.
============================================
