His issue throughout his 22 year recording career, was getting the recognition he thought he deserved. After singing memorable leads on many hit records for Billy Ward & The Dominoes, Clyde left because Billy Ward wouldn't put his name on the records or pay him a fair share of the profits. Ahmet Ertegun of Atlantic Records was ready to sign McPhatter and give him his own group, The Drifters. That worked out well as now Clyde had top billing and a couple #1 records with the Drifters under his belt. In mid-1955, The Drifters' manager, George Treadwell, convinced Clyde to go out on his own. His solo career began very successfully as he scored 11 charting records, including 3 #1s in the next 4 years with Atlantic Records. However, the 1960s proved a tough time for Clyde as he felt many of his fans had abandoned him. This week, Matt The Cat focuses on Clyde McPhatter's Atlantic solo sides from 1955-1959. Clyde was a singer who's style changed as musical styles progressed during the 1950s, but he never lost his Gospel roots. Dig on Clyde's greatest solo sides on this week's "Juke In The Back." 1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947 2. Seven Days - Clyde McPhatter - Atlantic 1955 3. I'm Not Worthy Of You - Clyde McPhatter - Atlantic 1955 4.

These shows will complement the fine shows done by Matt "The Cat" who covered his ground breaking recordings from 1955 to 1957.

Living in New Orleans it was believed at one point that Fats Domino perished during Hurricane Katrina as spray painted on plywood at his heavily flooded New Orleans home it read RIP Fats. He survived and will always be remembered as one of the true greats of Rock and Roll. He passed away at his home in Louisiana of natural causes on the morning of October 24, 2017. |

TRIAL RUN FOR ROCK-IT RADIO LISTENER'S ONLY
VINTAGE BROADCASTS ON FLASHDRIVE It's hard to believe but we realize that perhaps our declining sales is due to Compact Discs are a aging medium. And Flashdrives And digital is where it's at. So, I am going to make this offer just on a trial basis for the remainder of 2017. If you would prefer to have Rock-it Radio shows and vintage radio shows that we offer for sale on Flashdrive in mp3 format rather then on CD we can provide that service here at Rock-it Radio. Here it is how it works: 1. E mail me at rockitradio@netzero.net and let me know what shows you would like to have on Flashdrive. Let's make it a minimum of 3 broadcasts. Either any Rock-it Radio show .... or Vintage Radio Show from the 50s through 70s that we offer at: http://www.rockitradio.net/store.html 2. The Cost: Flashdrive will cost $5.00 and each show that you wish to have will cost $5.00 - nearly 50% CHEAPER then on CD. 3. I will send you back a invoice within a couple of days, It will be sent via paypal and it is not obligatory. If you change your mind just don't pay. But it is easy to pay with any major credit card. 4. Please allow up to 7 days for me to fill the order. Once payment is sent. In case I get swamped with this offer. Probably sooner. I have to redigitalize all sold shows into MP3 and that takes a little bit of time. All orders will have $3.00 postage a slight increase but that is due to it is shipped as a package and not envelope since it will be over a 1/4" thick. For example you order: 3 of our Alan Freed Radio shows. And a Real Don Steele show. A total of 4 shows - That would normally be a cost of $40.00 on CD. All together on one flashdrive so the invoice would look like - Flashdrive $5.00 - Four Shows on Flashdrive @ $5.00 each - $20.00 - shipping $3.00 Total: $28.00 Of course if you order more shows on the flashdrive you would continue saving as you are paying the $5.00 per show rather then $9.50. And of course we will be adding the monthly giveaway as well. So for a invoice again just e mail me your wants on your flashdrive for shows on mp3 at: rockitradio@netzero.net Also, check out this offer again at: http://www.rockitradio.net/flashdrivemp3.html |

| DOMESTIC ORDERS FOR ROCK-IT RADIO SAVE 25% BY USING YOUR COUPON!! Every order Rock-it Radio receives for a vintage Radio Broadcast or a Rock-it Radio Show or Flashdrive. We include a Catalog along with a coupon that allows you to get 4 CD's for the price of 3. 25% savings. It isn't used much though and we are wondering why. It does have to be by mail order and their is a order sheet in the back of the catalog. We pass the savings along as we are charged less from Ebay and Paypal when we get our orders in through the Catalog. As they don't take out their portions they charge. So if you like to purchase more from Rock-it Radio think about doing the old fashioned way afterall we are a old fashiioned station and it might take 3 or 4 days more but you will be saving money through the coupon.
Our apologies we can't do this for overseas orders but we are already taking a huge
hit on postage that we also have to absorb mailing overseas.

OUR FREE GIVEAWAY FOR NOVEMEBER - SOMETHING SPECIAL TO BOOST SALES AS OUR FREEBIE IN NOVEMBER. We are digging around a little bit in our archives and remembered back in the summer of 2013 Matt the Cat did a tribute to the music of Fats Domino. We thought it would be appropriate for our listener's and supporters for all of next month we will be giving away show #4566 of Rock-it Radio on CD to all who order from us in November 2017. It is part II featuring his music from 1953 to 1955 - of that series of Fats Domino. It's Our way of saying Thank you for helping support Rock-it Radio. But wait until November to place your order. Thank you ... incidentally here is a playlist of that show. MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW WITH A TRIBUTE TO FATS DOMINO Pt. 1 ON SHOW #4566 Fats Domino Pt. 2 (1953-55) The "Juke In The Back" is proud to feature Fats Domino, one of the most influential and popular recording stars of both Rhythm & Blues and Rock n' Roll music. Fats' streak of hit records was nearly unbroken from 1950-1963 and he did it without changing his core sound. He just kept on playin' the New Orleans boogie woogie music that he grew up with. Antoine "Fats" Domino Jr. got his first recording contract in early December of 1949 as bandleader Dave Bartholomew introduced him to Lew Chudd, the head of LA's Imperial Records. Within days, they were in Cosimo Matassa's famous J&M studios cutting Fats' first record, "The Fat Man," which sold over one million copies and made him a star. In part two of this two part series, Matt The Cat will spin the A and B sides of EVERY Fats Domino R&B charting single from mid-1953 thru his enormous crossover success in 1955 with "Ain't It A Shame." That record not only spent 11 weeks on top of the R&B charts, but it also crossed over and hit #10 on the Pop charts. Pat Boone would take his cover version to #1, thus giving Fats Domino even more Pop exposure. This show will also feature some great non-charting records and fabulous instrumentals from this time period as well. So c'mon and dig the R&B roots of Fats Domino, this week on the "Juke In The Back." 1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947 2. Rose Mary - Fats Domino - Imperial 1953 3.

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 |

Rockabilly bands looking for airplay
If you or know someone that would like airplay on Rock-it Radio we invite
you to submit your press kits to Rock-it Radio. Our website for further information is: http://www.rockitradio.net/airplay.html
============================================
Come tune into the World on your computer! 1000s of stations around the world now broadcast online. We have a link to some of the internet top directories to help you find these stations. http://www.rockitradio.net/internetradio.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
