He was the most successful African-American artist of the decade, selling millions of records to both Black and White audiences. Jordan charted 57 singles between 1942 and 1951, scoring 18 #1 R&B hits and 56 top 10s. Several of his records even crossed over into the Pop Top 10, which was an almost unheard of feat at the time. Part 3 of our series focuses on the entire year of 1946. Jordan scored 5 #1 records that year and spent 35 out of 52 weeks at the top of the Race Record Chart (the name of the R&B chart at that time). One of those #1s was a duet with the great Ella Fitzgerald. We'll also hear Jordan duetting with another musical titan, Bing Crosby. Decca Records put their 2 biggest stars together, but unfortunately that tune only hit #14 on the Pop Chart. Choo Choo Cha Boogie topped the charts for an entire 18 weeks! He was at the top of his game in 1946, selling more records than any other African-American artist. We'll also dig on a V-Disc Jordan cut for those serving overseas in the Armed Forces as well as some choice B sides. 1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons â€" Mercury 1947 2.

================================================= REMEMBERING LEO UNDERHILL AND WNOP! OF NEWPORT, KENTUCKY! (RARE AIRCHECK) Our only vintage broadcast we have from the Rock-it Radio store is from 1962 from Newport, Kentucky. But it's a dandy! You see Radio Station WNOP was right across the river from Cincinatti. Not located in a small single wide or a fancy studio location. But in the back of a bar! It was so unique and never knew what was going to happen next sort of programming that kept them high up in the ratings. Matter of fact in the 70s the station had such a reputation in that bar, that the producers of the TV comedy 'WKRP in Cincinatti' loosely based the antics of WNOP to that show! The recording we offer is RIR #231 in our catalog and in our Ebay store at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/131534327998 Featuring DJ Leo getting more intoxicated and obstinate in his show. And finally refusing to read the ads anymore, to telling a fellow DJ you don't like me do you? Everything you shouldn't do in broadcasting is well right here. And is strongly suggested for your collection! There is some great pop music as well in this show. =============================================== |

REMEMBERING OFFSHORE PIRATE RADIO IN THE UK
In the mid 1960s it was difficult for the youth to actually listen to Rock and Roll in the UK. The BBC actually ran only a few hours a weekend to provide the young Brits with this outlet. At night during the week they ventured to even tune into Radio Luxembourg to get there fill, that broadcast rock and pop around the clock. To fill this void some venture capitalists decided to bring in commercial radio aboard refitted radio ships. And anchor themselves just off into International waters off the English coast. Radio Caroline (named after Caroline Kennedy the U.S. President's daughter at the time) and Radio London being the most famous. Rock-it Radio has a website dedicated to their ventures and also have actual radio broadcasts available of these offshore pirates. We invite you to check them out our webpage 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,
