This week, we have TWO firsts on The Friday Night Cat Fight. The podcast is being expanded into a half hour program! AND we’re going to have a 3-way Cat Fight for the first time EVER!

Each week, the show will have a theme that relates to the song that the cats will be battling over. Then toward the end of the half hour of tunes, the Cats will battle it out for your vote.

This week’s theme is “Roads” to correspond to the Cat Fight which will be over the classic tune, “Down The Road Apiece”. Don Raye wrote the song for Will Bradley’s Orchestra, who did the original version. We begin, however, with Amos Milburn’s 1946 rendition which was recorded during his first session for Aladdin Records. Then, Chuck Berry puts his stamp on it from 1960 and we close out with The Rolling Stones version from their 2nd US LP issued in 1965.

Vote for the version you dig the most and please leave feedback in the comments section as to how you like the new version of the Friday Night Cat Fight.

“The Glory Of Love ” #2

Five Keys: 103 Votes
The Velvetones : 37 Votes

The Five Keys become only the 2nd vocal group and 4th artist over all inducted into the “Alley Of Fame”.

They easily beat The Velvetones’ 1957 version of “Glory Of Love” to make it FIVE wins in a row for the Keys. They now can no longer compete in the Friday Night Cat Fight now that they are in the “Alley Of Fame”.
