Summer
Obit
Tribute Show
This week, The Friday Night Cat Fight Podcast focuses on those who left us during the past couple of months. I’ve prepared little 2 song tributes to Billy Lee Riley, Johnny Carter, Sam Butera, Koko Taylor, Ellie Greenwich and Les Paul. You can read my written obits for all these great artist by clicking on my “Prowlin’ With Matt The Cat” Blog.
Since we’re saying goodbye to some “oldies but goodies”, I decided to feature the classic tune from 1961 as this week’s Cat Fight. Please decide whether you’re in the West Coast camp with Little Caesar & The Romans or the East Coast brigade with Nino & The Ebb Tides and then vote below.

Little Caesar and The Romans for me, I hope not just because I am from the West Coast but I think it is a much better version. Another great show Matt Thank You

That’s strange, Steve. I just booted it up in iTunes and it works fine for me. No one else has reported anything to me on it yet. Try it again if you get a chance. Thanks, MTC
Well, they’re both great versions, but, maybe because I am from the East Coast and their version, which was also very popular here, actually mentioned some of those “oldies but goodies”, laying the foundation for their “Juke Box Saturday Night”, I voted for Nino and The Ebb Tides.
You forgot about Gordon Waller from Peter and Gordon also passed away this summer
he was a personal friend of mine and an all around good guy and he will be missed
It’s good to know that others are being remebered besides YOU-KNOW-WHO!!!!!
