It evolved out of "Era" records and was founded by Lew Bedell and his cousin Herb Newman. After Herb Newman left it became a one man operation run by Lew Bedell . The label lasted for more than two decades launching the careers of Phil Spector and Jan and Dean in the late 50's and built on these early triumphs with an extensive catalogue that included pop,rock and soul. It later evolved into a comedy record label in the 70's. These two shows will concentrate on the hits and misses of the 1950's and 1960's especially Doo Wop. The Play List is as follows: 1.)

Fortune Records was a Detroit original, started in late 1946, it paved the way for future greatness. We’ll dig on some of their early releases, before jumping into their biggest star, Andre Williams. Originally from Alabama, Williams packed each single with grit, soul and a touch of weirdness that makes nearly all of his releases remain fresh-sounding today. Williams scored a national top 10 R&B record in 1956-57 with "Bacon Fat" It was so big, that Fortune Records licensed it to Epic Records for national distribution. A portion of this week’s program is also dedicated to Nolan Strong & The Diablos, one of the smoothest and soulful of the 50s doo wop vocal groups. Even though The Diablos never had a national hit, they are remembered today for Nolan Strong's beautiful tenor and their original rendition of "The Wind" from 1954. 1.

This week's Rock & Roll Party with Billy Vera takes us back to an incredible in-studio interview with legendary bluesman and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Charles Brown. In the '40's, Charles Brown was the leading proponent of the smooth west coast cocktail blues sound, with several big R&B hits. In the late 80's, he was rediscovered by Bonnie Raitt which led to a career resurgence with several best-selling albums in the 90's. He passed away in 1999. In January 1991, Charles came into studio for a fascinating conversation with Billy Vera. In addition to some great recordings from the different stages of his career, Charles sat down at the grand piano and delivered some wonderful live performances. Give a listen to this incredible slice of history this week on Rock-it Radio. =============================================== TED LOUKES ROCKABILLY RHYTHM SHOW ON ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #5559 From his studios way down in South Africa Ted Loukes joins us for another rockin' 50s Rockabilly 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,
Bennie Dingo
