Originally named Philo, after the brothers' record shop near the Philharmonic Hall in downtown LA, a threatened lawsuit by the Philco Radio Corporation resulted in the name change. Tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet, a popular member of Jazz at the Philharmonic was one of the first acts and hit with a remake of his famous solo on "Flying Home," from when he was with Lionel Hampton. This success attracted attractions like Wynonie Harris, Count Basie vocalist Helen Humes, Lester Young and Al Hibbler, along with fresh sounding artists like Johnny Moore's Three Blazers with Charles Brown and Amos Milburn. Aladdin was on its way and throughout the late 40s and early 50s, they were popping with hits by Peppermint Harris, the Five Keys and Floyd Dixon. They were able to sign fading stars like Billie Holiday and Louis Jordan. As R&B evolved into Rock'n'Roll, the Mesners minted new stars, including Shirley & Lee, Gene & Eunice and the Velvetones. It all came to and end with Aladdin's biggest hit, "Little Bitty Pretty One" by Thurston Harris, which they were unable to follow up, causing difficulty getting paid by distributors. HOUR 1 1.

His first recording session was held at Chess Records in Chicago on March 2nd and 3rd, 1955, where he laid down 4 original tunes. One of those songs, "I'm A Man," would inspire blues great Muddy Waters' "Manish Boy," while the other, "Bo Diddley," would be the igniting spark for rock n' roll. Diddley was a complicated and compelling artist, who's talents go way beyond his signature "hambone" rhythm, his vibrato guitar and his crazy lyrics. Bo's spirit is the spirit of rebellion, the true ingredient for rock music. It all began in 1955 and this week's "Juke In The Back" will explore those roots. 1.

Glen Travis Campbell was born in 1936 in the little town of 'Delight' Arkansas. In the early 1950's he moved with his family to Los Angeles California and in 1954, started gigging with several California bands including The Dick Bills Band which was run by his Uncle. In late 1959 early 1960, he worked as a session musician with The Wrecking Crew, and in October 1960, he joined The Champs (those of Tequila fame). In 1961, Glen signed with Hollywood based 'Crest Records' and released his first solo record under the name of Glen Campbell. He also got together with former members of The Champs to form a group called The Cee Gee's and they put out a record for 'Crest' called "Buzz Saw Twist". He signed with 'Capitol Records' in 1962 and had a very prolific career with them right through until the 1980's when he recorded for the 'Atlantic' label. Glen had over 70 studio albums and many many singles released through out his career as well as touring, TV Shows, and starring in the support role in the movie "True Grit". In 1965, Glen joined The Beach Boys touring band as bass guitarist, and also played bass guitar with the Ricky Nelson touring band.

People sometimes forget how prevalent the tenor sax was during the early days of rock'n'roll. Not only did many vocal recordings contain sax solos during an instrumental break midway through the song, but there were tons of instrumental releases that prominently featured the saxophone. On this week's two-part Memory Lane Show, host Lane Quigley shines the spotlight on a whole bunch of exceptional examples of sax instrumentals that will leave you speechless. Part One features the Hits and Well Known recordings, while Part Two digs deep into the Memory Lane library for some dynamite sides that you may have forgotten or perhaps have never heard.

| DECLINING SALES CAUSES S.O.S. SAVE OUR STATION Last newsletter we reported how October was the worse sales record for Rock-it History. Well looks like November might be worse. And if that is the case. To survive we will have to make some drastic changes. We plan to anyways. We found the main culprit is Ebay. Ebay is our #1 expense the listings of our shows costs over $1000 a month. And they have in the last couple of months changed their format to where you have to look for the full description of our items. It has severely compramised our ability to be found on Ebay by new buyers and sales are down there by 80%. We will probably be cutting our listings in the Ebay store if they don't improve this month. It now brings the daunting task of having our playlists of our vintage broadcasts put into a website .... all 600+ of them! And we would solely be selling our shows from our online store. Other cuts would include advertising on Google Adwords and this newsletter would probably be put in a new google group in lieu of e mail and we would notify you through our facebook page of Rock-it Radio when a new newsletter is out. We will notify you in another newsletter before these actions take place. |

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 |
| REAL MEDIA FOR ROCK-IT RADIO TO END ON DECEMBER 31, 2017 Several months back we did a survey of who would be affected if Rock-it Radio stopped their streaming in Real Media. It was a major audio and musical streaming program we had at the beginning of Rock-it Radio in the Mid 90s and have continued. But no one ever replied to our answer. So effective 12/31/2017 we will only be streaming our shows online in glorious mp3. It will simplify the look of our program page and save time in production. ============================================= |
| 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.
============================================= |

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 |

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
