Don’t miss The Night Prowl tonight as we take a closer look on the influence and sound of the varied groups from the West Coast. Richard Berry, Arthur Lee Maye, The Penguins, Ritchie Valenz, Bobby Day and the Jaguars will all be represented on tonight’s show.
PLUS, today is Dickie Lee’s 64th birthday, so we’ll focus on some of his biggest record in honor of his special day.
Rock n’ roll, rhythm & soul, tonight on The Night Prowl Show.
1930-2004
In honor of what would have been his 75th birthday, HARLEM remembers the greatest and most versatile R&B; singer/songwriter/composer of all time, RAY CHARLES. He was the blind troubadour of R&B; and the surveyor of soul because he was out there doin’ it before anyone. We will remember Ray’s humble R&B; beginnings in the early 1950s, all week long on. Ray Charles was the mayor of Harlem and we’ll never forget him. He is the centerpiece of the whole HARLEM concept and it’s my pleasure to dedicate the entire hour to his soulful sounds.
The Ray Charles HARLEM show airs:
Monday at 1pm EST
Tuesday Night At 9pm PST/Midnight EST
Friday at 6pm EST
Sunday at 11am EST

Also, it’s FRIDAY NIGHT, Cats n’ Kittens, so don’t miss the Friday Night Cat Fight at 10pm EST/7pm PST.
Have a great weekend!
