Rockin' Eddy Oldies Show 8-Sep-19: Rock a Roll, RaB, Doo-Wop, Soul, Pop, Country Crossover
Featuring Big Joe Turner, The Drifters, Brenda Lee, Lou Christie, Four Seasons... Our story behind the song this week involves Doc Pomus, who was crippled for life and who walked on crutches (a victim of polio). His wife enjoyed dancing, but he couldn't dance with her. He took her out one night and allowed her to dance with other men, as long as she kept the last dance for him. Hence, the song "Save The Last Dance For Me" which he wrote for the Drifters. Our twin spin this week is the Eternals' "Rockin In The Jungle" and its b-side "Rock a Roll Cha Cha Cha" for the class of '61.
