MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW WITH
A TRIBUTE SHOW TO RUTH BROWN #1 IN ROCK-IT SHOW #4612

Ruth Brown Pt. 1 (1949-50)

Ruth Brown was Atlantic Records first big star. She was
so successful, racking up 24 R&B hits for the fledging label,
that Atlantic was often called the "house that Ruth built."
This week, "Juke In The Back" begins a 3 part feature celebrating
the music and influence of "Miss Rhythm."
Part 1 will focus on Brown's beginnings with Atlantic. She came to
the attention of co-founders Ahmet Ertegun and Herb Abramson in 1948,
thanks to Voice of America DJ Willis Conover. They signed her up,
but a terrible car accident sidelined the chanteuse for several
months.
By May, 1949, Brown was in the studio cutting her first single, which
also turned out to be her first hit, the #4 smash, "So Long."
Matt The Cat digs out an interview with the late Ertegun, explaining
how Atlantic came to sign Ruth Brown. She may have hit pay dirt right
out of the gate, but still they didn't know how to record her.
Brown wanted to sing pop songs and standards and Ertegun and Abramson
wanted her to sing in the Rhythm & Blues style. So there were quite a
few missteps before Ruth Brown landed her next hit at the very end of
1950 with the #1 smash, "Teardrops From My Eyes." We'll dig on every
single released by Ruth Brown from 1949-1950 on this week's
"Juke In The Back."

1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947
2. Hey Pretty Baby - Ruth & Jimmy Brown - Unissued 1949
3. So Long - Ruth Brown - Atlantic 1949
4. It's Raining - Ruth Brown - Atlantic 1949
5. I'll Get Along Somehow - Ruth Brown - Atlantic 1949
6. Rockin' Blues - Ruth Brown - Atlantic 1949
7. Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe - Atlantic 1950
8. Love Me Baby - Ruth Brown - Atlantic 1950
9. Why - Ruth Brown & The Delta Rhythm Boys- Atlantic 1950
10. (I'll Come Back) Someday - Ruth Brown & The Delta Rhythm Boys - Atlantic 1950
11. Sentimental Journey - Ruth Brown - Atlantic 1950
12. I Can Dream, Can't I - Ruth Brown - Atlantic 1950
13. GREAT 78 - Where Can I Go - Ruth Brown - Atlantic 1950
14. Dear Little Boy Of Mine - Ruth Brown - Atlantic 1950
15. Am I Making The Same Mistake Again - Ruth Brown w/ Budd Johnson's Orch - Atlantic 1950
16. Teardrops From My Eyes - Ruth Brown w/ Budd Johnson's Orch - Atlantic 1950
17. After Hours - Erskine Hawkins - Bluebird 1946

Another GREAT show Matt and there will be more to come I am sure!

TRIBUTE TO BOBBY BLUE BLAND PT. 1 WITH AL COOL
DADDY SMITH ON ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #4619

This show is part one of  a two  part tribute  to a
largely unknown (to the general public) but hugely
talented and influential  singer Bobby Blue Bland. 
He was one of soul music's greatest singers although
calling him that limits the range of music that he
incorporated into his singing style, which at various
times across various recordings  would fuse elements of
r&b, pop,gospel and even country and western influences
to produce his trade mark style.
Beginning his career as a pale imitation of singers such as
B.B. King he developed over his first decade the style for
which he became noted for ; a supple, confidential soul and
blues delivery. His arrival at this style is dealt with at
length in this first show using selected recordings to illustrate
this development.
We lost Bobby Blue Bland  on the 23rd. of June of this year.
These shows will hopefully do some justice to one of the greatest
singers many have never heard!!  All songs performed by Bobby Blue Bland in this playlist
The play list is as follows:

1. Farther On Up The Road-  1957
2. St. James Infirmary-  1961
3. That's The Way Love Is- 1963
4. Call On Me- 1963
5. Little Boy Blue- 1958
6. Rockin' In The same Boat- 1968
7. If You Could Read My Mind-  1965
8. I'm Too Far Gone To Turn Around- 1965
9. Stormy Monday Blues- 1962
10. Woke Up Screaming-1955
11. It's My Life Baby-  1955
12. I'll Take Care Of You-  1960
13. Poverty- 1966
14. Driftin' Blues- 1968
15. I Pity The Fool-  1961
16. Call On Me-  1963

============================================
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 30 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.

============================================
Come Join the Rock-it Listener's Club
