Rockin' Eddy Oldies Show 26-May-19: Rock a Roll, Doo-wop, Country Crossover, Instrumental, Jazz
Featuring Louis Jordan, Chubby Checker, The Crystals, Quincy Jones, Bobby Darin, Les Paul, Glen Campbell... We get started with Louis Jordan who had been playing Rock a Roll long before it was called that; next check out the cool version of "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" by Chubby Checker. Our twin spin includes Bill Haley a His Comets "Thirteen Women" (And Only One Man) and it's b-side "Rock Around The Clock" - yes it was really a b-side! A real treat with the very last song by the Illinois Jacquet and the jazzy original "Harlem Nocturne" before the Viscounts covered it.
