Orbison enters Night Prowl “Alley Of Fame”

Congratulations to Roy Orbison for being the first artist inducted into the Night Prowl “Alley Of Fame”. Roy won his fifth and final Friday Night Cat Fight by defeating Elvis by a score of 49 votes to 9. He showed his sheer dominance throughout the contest and will now no longer be able to compete so that other cats have a chance to grace this alleys brick walls. Go to the Alley Of Fame page to see how Roy did it.

Next week, the Fright Night Cat Fight returns with the first of a few minor artist scuffles, so we can all break from what has been an exhausting five weeks of Orbie dominance.

45 RPM Thursday

On March 31st, 1949, RCA Victor released the first 7 45s RPM records in order to promote its new record format. Thursday Night we honor the 45 on its 59th birthday with special guest, Jerry Osborne, author of the “Rockin’ Records” price guides. We’re going to play the very first 45 pressed by RCA Victor on this special program. Imagine rock n’ roll without the 45? Impossible. It was an unbreakable medium on the go and kids in the 1950s took their 45s everywhere. Now find out what some of your favorites are worth and why some 45s are more valuable than others. Learn more about our guest, Jerry Osborne at JerryOsborne.com.

Chart Thursday – Buddy Deane Countdown

20th March
2008
written by Matt The Cat

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.
