MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOWON ROCK-IT RADIO #3492.This week, "The Juke In The Back" looks at how one of R&B's
greatest voices, Lavern Baker, got her start. Matt The Cat
collects ALL of Baker's early records together in one place.
From her first recordings with the Eddie "Sugarman" Penigar
Orch to her breakthrough sides with The Todd Rhodes Orch
and all the records in-between. You can really hear how Baker's
sound evolved between 1949 and 1953. Her true breakthrough
wouldn't come until "Tweedlee Dee" became a huge R&B and
pop hit in 1955.
Plus, in our "Harlem Hit Parade," celebrate America's National
Pastime with a collection of R&B baseball songs. Soon after
Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier and signed with the
Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947 and Larry Doby went to the Indians,
blues and rhythm artists started singing about a game that could
now be enjoyed by everybody.
