LANE QUIGLEY AND THE MEMORY LANE SHOW ON ROCK-IT
RADIO SHOW #4630 - Top 25's THAT WE'RE ONE HIT WONDERS Pt. 3
It's always been difficult to get one hit record.  But for
some artists, it was harder to get a SECOND hit record. 
For every Elvis or Fats or Drifters, there were dozens of
performers who had fleeting success but were not able to
sustain a career. This week's Memory Lane Show begins a
mini-series of programs entitled "Fabulous Forgotten Top 40's -
One Hit Wonder Edition." 
In this series, host Lane Quigley will feature artists who
had their day in the spotlight with a Top 40 hit on the U.S.
charts --- but never again were able to crack the U.S. Hot 100. 
Get ready to jog your memory with these 25 lost hits:

We don't have a playlist for this show yet, but we will
add it in next week's newsletter.

Thank you Lane for another great Flashback to Top 40 Radio!
If you have any requests or comments or would just like to
give Lane a friendly hello!  You can reach him at:
memorylane@rockitradio.net

And he is also on Facebook now as well!

MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW WITH
A TRIBUTE SHOW TO RUTH BROWN #3 IN ROCK-IT SHOW #4634

Ruth Brown Pt. 3 (1953-55)

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" continues its 3 part feature
celebrating the music and influence of "Miss Rhythm."
Part 3 will feature another hour of Brown's gritty, tough R&B
and sweet ballads beginning in the middle of 1953 and continuing
up through her first single release of 1955.
During this period, she would score 2 more #1 hits with "Oh What A Dream,"
which was written for her by Chuck Willis and "Mambo Baby."
These Ruth Brown sessions were co-produced by Jerry Wexler, who
had joined Atlantic Records in '53 as Atlantic's co-founder Herb
Abramson was drafted into the Army. Rock n' roll was about to hit
the mainstream as we close this final part of our Ruth Brown complete
singles chronology. Next week, our look at Ruth Brown continues as we
introduce a bonus show that will feature every one of her remaining
charting singles from 1955-1960.

1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947
2. The Shrine Of St. Cecilia - Ruth Brown - Unissued 1951
3. Wild Wild Young Men - Ruth Brown - Atlantic 1953
4. Mend Your Ways - Ruth Brown - Atlantic 1953
5. The Tears Keep Tumbling Down - Ruth Brown - Atlantic 1953

9. Hello Little Boy - Ruth Brown - Atlantic 1954
10. If I Had Any Sense - Ruth Brown - Atlantic 1954
11. Oh What A Dream - Ruth Brown & Her Rhythmakers - Atlantic 1954
12. Please Don't Freeze - Ruth Brown & Her Rhythmakers- Atlantic 1954

14. Mambo Baby - Ruth Brown & Her Rhythmakers - Atlantic 1954

16. Ever Since My Baby's Been Gone - Ruth Brown & Her Rhythmakers - Atlantic 1955
17. Bye Bye Young Men - Ruth Brown & Her Rhythmakers - Atlantic 1955

============================================
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
