Little Richard turns 70!
The “Wildman Of Rock n’ Roll” turns 70 today and your furry leader, Matt The Cat is going to give him the kind of radio celebration he deserves. As one of the innovators of rock n’ roll, we probably wouldn’t be where we are today if it wasn’t for the energy of his 1950s records as well as all the risks he took along the way. Let’s also not forget that Richad had one of the tightest bands in rock history backin’ him up. Dig that frantic sounds of the true KING of rock n’ roll, tonight on the Night Prowl Show.
Freddy “Boom Boom” Cannon turned 65 on Sunday, December 4th. Don’t worry, I won’t forget about my fellow Bostonian tonight on the show.

The
SWALLOWS


This week, Matt The Cat spotlights one of the greatest R&B; vocal groups of all time, The Swallows. Today, they’re mostly remembered for their risqué classic “It Ain’t The Meat” (which wasn’t a hit at the time), but their real strength was in ballads. Their smooth, harmonies are almost peerless. Catch all of their amazing R&B; hits as well as the story behind the story on The Swallows, this week on Harlem.

Harlem Airs on the 50s on 5:
Monday 12/5 @ 1pm ET
Tuesday 12/6 @ 9pm in LA and Midnight in NYC
Friday 12/9 @ 6pm ET
Sunday 12/11 @ 11am ET
