MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW ON ROCK-IT
RADIO SHOW #4825 - SPOTLIGHT ON JUKEBOX 1954
1954: Jukebox Rhythm Review, Pt. 1
1954 was a pivotal year for American Music. The lines between
Rhythm & Blues and Pop were getting blurred as more and more R&B
records crossed over into the Pop Chart, causing a brand new "youth
market" to open up. American teens of all colors were diggin' that
jump blues sound that had been a staple on Black Radio for years.
This would lead to racial integration and eventually, the Civil
Rights Movement. There is no doubt that music played an important
role in the early days of Civil Rights and those roots can be
traced back to the Black Music of 1954. In fact, this was the year
that a young, white kid from Memphis named Elvis began recording
at 706 Union Avenue. It was also a year of unlikely musical heroes
as 43 year old Joe Turner, who had been making records since 1938,
topped the R&B Chart twice, helping to propel Rock n' Roll Music to
the forefront. Vocal groups like The Crows, The Spiders, The Spaniels
and The Drifters were forging a new sub-genre that would come to be
called Doo Wop. This week in part 1, Matt The Cat focuses on the
biggest jukebox hits of the first half of 1954 and next week, we'll
close out the year. So grab a handful of nickels, 'cause you're gonna
need 'em to keep the "Juke In The Back" jumping as we highlight the
momentous year of 1954.
1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947
2. Honey Hush - Joe Turner & His Band - Atlantic 1953
3. You're So Fine - Little Walter & His Jukes - Checker 1953
4. The Things That I Used To Do - Guitar Slim & His Band - Specialty 1954
5. I'll Be True - Faye Adams - Herald 1954
6. Good, Good Whiskey - Amos Milburn & His Aladdin Chickenshackers - Aladdin 1954
7. I Didn't Want To Do It - The Spiders - Imperial 1954
8. Such A Night - Clyde McPhatter & The Drifters - Atlantic 1954
9. You'll Never Walk Alone - Roy Hamilton - Epic 1954
10. Gee - The Crows - Rama 1954
11. It Should've Been Me - Ray Charles & His Orch. - Atlantic 1954
12. Goodnight Sweetheart, Goodnight - The Spaniels - Vee-Jay 1954
13. GREAT 78 - Darling Dear - The Counts - Dot 1954

WIBG PHILADELPHIA DROPS RELICS AND RARITIES SHOW IN UNCOOL WAY!
It's sad to see how some radio stations treat there
DJ's. And those that provide the programming and mistakes
they make in cancelling music that keeps the music alive.
A couple of week's ago I read about Rock-it Radio DJ:
Dave Kapulsky (Dave the Rave) and how his programming was
cancelled without even a e mail - We are happy to say that
Rock-it Radio still airs and will continue to air his show
as long as he likes. It is considered top notch in our
book! And a huge mistake by those in Charge at WIBG.
Here is the final mention from Dave on his Facebook page
below.
WIBG Wibbage FM 94.3 Final Update: Please read this entire message.
I have had some discussions with the owner, Rick Brancadora, these
past few days, and I have been informed that the station has indeed
terminated my Relics & Rarities Show, as it does not fit the format
of this station. I have indeed insisted on maintaining the integrity
of the music heard on my Relics & Rarities specialty show. I play the hits
and the records that deserve that second chance on the radio! One of the
oddest mistruths of this episode though was being told that the station
received no calls, and no emails about my show's termination.
This was later revised to just a few, but only from internet listener's
and I assume that means you don't count. I know in my heart that a
non-response to the termination of my Relics & Rarities Show to the
radio station is a complete fabrication.
But if it made the Program Director or anyone else there feel better
to stake such a claim, then I'm all about making people feel better.
I prefer accomplishing that by the music I play, but for those at Wibbage (WIBG)
if it is accomplished by the lies you tell, I will be happy for you as well.
I most regret not being able to say goodbye to the listeners, and thanking
them for tuning in to my show over the last 5 years and working with the
four different time changes that my show experienced. To the listeners that
will see this message, THANK YOU! You can insult my intelligence by telling
me that nobody cared about my show's termination, but I will take the high road,
as that is how I live my life, and say a final thank you to WIBBAGE,
and my last five years on your station. Rave On!

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
