Well, Lawdy Miss Claudy!
Lloyd Price Is 73 Today!

We’re going to call Lloyd and wish him a happy birthday from all the Night Prowlers across the country. Lloyd Price IS rock n’ roll and I’m going to play several parts of an interview I did with Lloyd over the past summer and of course play Lloyd’s greatest songs.

So cut the cake and wish Lloyd Price a very happy birthday on the Thursday Night Prowl Show.

MOTOWN RECORDS
Birth Of A Label: 1959-61

This week, Harlem focuses on the birth of one of the greatest record labels of all time; MOTOWN RECORDS.

You’ll hear Motown’s first instrumental, first national hit and first million seller. Don’t miss Harlem, all week long on the 50s on 5.
