The
Atlantic Records
Story
Part 2
Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun once again joins Harlem’s Matt The Cat as we focus on the heyday of Atlantic; the early to mid 1950s. Mr. Ertegun will give us the story behind the story on Big Joe Turner, LaVern Baker, Ray Charles and Chuck Willis, just to name a few. This is the story of the most influential and significant rhythm & blues record label of all time. Don’t miss Harlem; the soul that came before rock n’ roll.
Harlem Airs on The 50s on 5:
Monday @ 1pm EST
Tuesday @ 9pm PST & Midnight EST
Thursday @ 1pm EST
Friday @ 6pm EST
Sunday @ 11am EST
2 weeks ago, The Flamingos took on the Channels for the FRIDAY NIGHT CAT FIGHT over the doo wop classic, “That’s My Desire”. The Flamingos put up a good fight, but the Channels emerged victorious. NOW, the Channels return tonight to face a new foe. Tune in at 10pm EST/7pm PST and vote for the version you dig the most. The Friday Night Cat Fight returns tonight on The Night Prowl Show.
Hey Cats n’ Kittens, I’m back from my fantabulous vacation and so it’s time to get back to work and bring DOO WOP THURSDAY back to YOU! Join me tonight for the best vocal groups and street corner harmony sounds broadcast coast to coast with your requests and dedications.
