Bob Crewe was a singer,song writer, dancer,record producer, record label owner,painter and even a designer of record album covers.. He is probably best know for his important work with groups such as Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, as well as The 4 Seasons - a group which rivalled both The Beatles and The Beach Boys during the 1960's. These artists however are not the only ones who benefited from his work. People such as Leslie Gore, LaBelle, Diane Renay and many others as well fall into that category. All of these artists and others will appear in these two show. As well Bob Crewe Teen Age Idol phase will be examined and many of his solo recordings from the 1950's and 60's, most of which were written by him, will be heard. Bob Crewe should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & I will attempt to make a case for this during the shows. The play list is as follows: 1.) Don't Call Me Chicken-Bob Crewe 1957 2.) Silhouettes-The Rays 1957 3.) Big Girls Don't Cry-The Four Seasons 1962 4.) Silhouettes-Bob Crewe 1961 5.) Daddy Cool-The Diamonds 1957 6.) It's All Over-Bob Crewe 1954 7.) Punch-Bob Crewe 1954 8.)

Big band swing was passe and, in black vernacular music, two new forms were emerging: bebop and the jump blues that in just two years would come to be called rhythm & blues. Juke boxes in black locations would throb with song that embodied both these idioms, often in the same record. Perhaps the closest thing to the coming R&B sound would be Jimmy Liggins's "Cadillac Boogie," the precursor to 1951's "Rocket 88." Riff-based tunes like "Chicken Shack Boogie" and "Sneaky Pete" fit the same mold. Songs like "Open The Door Richard" and the Ravens' "Write Me A Letter" crossed over to the pop charts and the big bands like Buddy Johnson kept that sound alive. Beboppers Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie could be heard on those same juke boxes, as could great female singers like Billie Holidayand Kay Starr. HOUR 1 1. Cadillac Boogie - Jimmy Liggins 2.

| TWO ROCK-IT RADIO SHOWS SADLY SUSPENDED FROM AIRING. Though we are thrilled with having Glen Gordon on board here at Rock-it Radio. We got a double shot of bad news for us here at Rock-it Radio. First Ted Loukes host of the Rockabilly Rhythm Show from South Africa that aired over Rock-it Radio. We received word from Ted that he is currently unable to host the show currently and not sure when he will be able to return. We of course hope for a speedy recovery back to the Rock-it Radio Airwaves. Secondly, within days later we heard from Ken Strange a/k/a DJ Spinning Rock Boogie from the UK host of The Movin' and Groovin' Show, and Country Music Round Up show. His External Drive holding thousands and thousands of his songs he has uploaded over years of collecting was damaged beyond repair during a move to a new location. A tedious task in deed of hours of work lays ahead of Ken and we hope also a quick return to Rock-it Radio, both of you will be surely missed on the Rock-it Radio line up. |

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
