Tonight’s show features a Top 50 countdown of a record survey from Buddy Deane’s Baltimore TV show from this week in 1958. Buddy Deane was the “Dick Clark” of Baltimore/DC and hosted a daily teen dance show on Channel 13, WJZ from 1957-1964. We’ll be countin’ ’em down beginning at 8pm ET – 5pm PT. Some of these songs receive very little airplay as they were regional hits in Baltimore, so you should hear a few that you’ve never heard before.

Part 2

Harlem just can’t be satisfied. We’re still thirsty for some Whiskey, Gin & Wine, so we’re headin’ back to the bar, pub and juke joint for some more Rhythm & Blues Drinking Songs. This week, you’ll hear a new set of drinkin’ songs from Wynonie “Mr. Blues” Harris, Stick McGhee, The Clovers, Big Jay McNeely and many many more. Harlem’s philosophy: What’s the use of getting sober, when you’re only gonna get drunk again?

Harlem Airs on The 50s on 5:
Monday, 3/17 at 1pm over a juke joint in Mississippi
Tuesday night 3/18 at 9pm over a dive in LA and midnight over a pub in Boston
Friday 3/21 at 6pm over a gin mill in Baltimore
Sunday 3/23 at 11am for the morning after
