MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW ON ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #4755 - TRIBUTE TO FLOYD DIXON.

Floyd Dixon

This week, "Juke In The Back" features another unsung hero of
early Rhythm & Blues, Floyd Dixon. He's often overlooked or
labeled as a Charles Brown sound-alike, but Dixon was a prolific
songwriter who made a great contribution to the R&B foundation of
Rock n' Roll. After meeting his piano/singing idol, Charles Brown,
Dixon hooked up with Eddie Williams, who had played bass in Brown's
group, Johnny Moore's Three Blazers. They had several hits together
before Dixon himself was asked to join The Three Blazers, after Brown
went solo. As a solo artist, Dixon is remembered for his top 10 R&B
hits "Sad Journey Blues" and "Call Operator 210," but his most
enduring song is "Hey Bartender," which he cut in 1954 for Cat Records.
It was revived in the late '70s by The Blues Brothers and remains
a classic to this day. Dixon recorded for Swingtime, Supreme,
Modern, Aladdin, Specialty and many more influential independent
labels. Matt The Cat digs up his finest platters, while also
highlighting a 2006 interview with Dixon that was recorded shortly
before his death at age 77. Dig on "Mr. Magnificent," Floyd Dixon
on this week's "Juke In The Back."

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

Want to join our Listeners Club?? And be notified when new shows are playing on the Rock-it. If you are not a member of our listeners club it is really easy to join... just go to our main website at: http://www.rockitradio.net

OUR SISTER STATION FIRST NATIONS BROADCASTING.

We invite you to also check out our sister station -- First Nations
Broadcasting. And tune into the rather Cool North of the Yukon and Alaska with our very own Debbie Snowdove!

============================================ 
Well that is just about it for this newsletter and playlists of our latest
