Tonight along with the greatest rock n’ roll, rhythm & blues, rockabilly, doo wop, country cross-over and novelty songs, we honor one of the greatest voices of the 20th Century, LaVern Baker. She was born on this day in 1929. She began her career under the name Little Miss Sharecropper, before Ahmet Ertegun brought her to national attention when he signed her to Atlantic Records. You’ll hear what Mr. Ertegun has to say about her as he looks back 50 years as well as her story from Matt The Ca.t

Don’t miss The Friday Night Cat Fight tonight at 10pm ET / 7pm PT as 2 cats battle it out over the same song. Pat Boone will NOT be present at this week’s cat fight.

Daddy Dave’s Hollywood Diner follows the Night Prowl at 11pm ET.

Have a great weekend. I know I will as this is a special weekend for me.

Keep it soulful, cats n’ kittens.
