The Friday Night Cat Fight Podcast
“Shake A Tail Feather”
The Friday Night Cat Fight Podcast presents a great uptempo number to git y’all on the dance floor, “Shake A Tail Feather.” Who better to get ya shakin’ it, than the original 1963 version by the Five Du-Tones? Or maybe you prefer the biggest hit version of song from James & Bobby Purify from 1967? It’s possible that Ray Charles’ version from the “Blues Brothers” film is the one that tickles your tail feather. Voice your choice! Listen to the Cat Fight and then decide if it’s one of the hits or one of the lesser-known versions by Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels or Ike & Tina Turner.

“The Day The Music Died” Cat Fight – 2011
The Friday Night Cat Fight Podcast honors the 52 anniversary of “The Day The Music Died,” that terrible plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson).
There will be 2 separate Cat Fights this week.
The first is over a tune that was written by J.P. Richardson and originally recorded by him. His buddy George Jones covered it in 1959 and made it his first of MANY #1 Country singles.
The second Cat Fight is between Robert & Johnny and Ritchie Valens over the tune, “We Belong Together.” Robert & Johnny co-wrote the song and took it to #12 on the R&B charts, but Ritchie puts a heartfelt touch to the tune and makes it all his own.
Plus, the podcast also contains a little tribute to Buddy Holly, who’s loss is still very much felt today.
