LANE QUIGLEY AND THE MEMORY LANE SHOW ON ROCK-IT
RADIO SHOW #5076
The music world lost two giants recently with the deaths of
Cosimo Matassa and Bob Crewe. Their names may not be well known,
but their contributions during the Golden Age of Rock & Roll are
undeniable.
In the mid-1940's, Cosimo Matassa added a recording studio to the
family Appliance Store on the outskirts of New Orleans' French Quarter.
For the next 20+ years, his J&M Studio generated some of the greatest
music of the era. Cosimo was the man in the control booth engineering
all of the fantastic music that emanated from New Orleans during that
time -- including recordings by Fats Domino, Little Richard,
Lloyd Price, Professor Longhair, Lee Dorsey, Jimmy Clanton, Ernie K-Doe,
Irma Thomas, The Spiders, Smiley Lewis, Shirley & Lee, Guitar Slim,
Clarence "Frogman" Henry, Aaron Neville, Huey "Piano" Smith, and
dozens more. In the first half of this week's Memory Lane Show, host
Lane Quigley pays tribute to this essential figure in the history of
rock & roll.
The second half of the program shines the spotlight on
producer/songwriter Bob Crewe. Best known for his work with the
Four Seasons, The Memory Lane Show - as usual - digs a little deeper
with some of his early successes and featuring some of Crewe's
great Girl Group productions.
Along with some great recordings that these two pioneers, the show
features interview clips from some of folks that worked with
Matassa and Crewe.
1. Don't You Just Know It - Huey 'Piano' Smith & The Clowns 1958
2. Ain't Gonna Do It - The Pelicans 1954
SOUND BITES
3. Tipitina - Professor Longhair 1954

| ============================================ REMEMBERING OFFSHORE PIRATE RADIO IN THE UNITED KINGDOM IN THE 60S. You can pretty safely debate that offshore pirate radio brought Rock and Roll to Great Britain in the 60s. Prior to that, The only radio outlet in the UK was the BBC. And only had a few hours a week of programming dedicated to the music the British youth were yearning for. So, along came Offshore broadcasting. Basically refitted cargo ships into a floating radio station - anchored just off the coast in International waters. Probably the most famous being Radio Caroline (named after Caroline Kennedy (JFK's daughter)). These stations played the Rock and Roll of the day. Rock-it Radio has a website dedicated to the Offshore Radio days at: http://www.rockitradio.net/pirate.html |

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.
============================================
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
shows. We hope that you enjoy them.
We will do our best to keep these shows on for at least 14
days and hopefully 21 days.
All the best always,
