============================================== MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW ON ROCK-IT RADIO #3981 - BOBBY MITCHELL AND THE TOPPERS STORY!
Bobby Mitchell & The Toppers
The "Juke In The Back" digs deep into New Orleans Rhythm & Blues this week to focus on Bobby Mitchell & The Toppers, one of the few vocal groups to come out of a city best known for its blues, jazz and cajun roots. The Spiders were the best known vocal group to come out of 1950s New Orleans, but Bobby Mitchell & The Toppers were probably more versatile in the sense that they could not only shout the blues, like Roy Brown or Wynonie Harris, but they could also harmonize like a top notch doo wop group. Bobby Mitchell is best remembered today as the cat who originally sang "I'm Gonna Be A Wheel Someday," two years before Fats Domino would cut it, but it was his "Try Rock n' Roll" from 1956 that would be his only charting hit (reaching #14 nationally). That song capitalized on the emerging rock n' roll craze and remains a record of its time. Bobby Mitchell and The Toppers were definitely a vocal group of their time, but they are well worth checking out as Matt The Cat gives them the spotlight treatment on this week's "Juke In The Back."

JOHNNY OTIS PASSES AWAY AT 90 by Lane Quigley
It is with profound sadness that I have learned of the passing of R&B pioneer Johnny Otis at age 90.
I last spoke with him about six or seven years ago. He was in failing health at that time, and his voice was quite weak. He declined an interview at that time. I spoke with his wife Phyllis a few times after that, and she was trying to convince him to sit for an interview, but to no avail. She told me that Johnny would get a spark when he got to talking about "the old days".
I know that our own Steve Propes and Bill Green and Bennie Dingo also had the privilege of meeting Johnny Otis.
His importance in the rise of R&B can not be overstated. He was one of the earliest stars of the genre. I hope to be able to find the time to produce a tribute program. He certainly deserves as many accolades and tributes as can be generated.
Here is the obit that will run in the LA Times:
Pioneering rhythm-and-blues singer, songwriter, drummer, bandleader and disc jockey Johnny Otis made the kind of conscious life choice early on that few people have the inclination, or circumstance, to carry out. Born white, the son of Greek immigrant parents, and raised in a predominantly black neighborhood in Northern California in the 1920s, Otis decided as a youth that he'd rather be black. The choice put him on a path to a life in music during which he created the sensually pulsing 1958 hit "Willie and the Hand Jive." It also gave him a deep connection to black culture that helped him discover such future stars of R&B and rock as Etta James, Little Richard, Jackie Wilson, Hank Ballard and Little Esther Phillips. "Yes, I chose," Otis told the Los Angeles Times in 1979, "because despite all the hardships, there's a wonderful richness in black culture that I prefer." Otis died Tuesday in the Los Angeles area, where he had lived for much of his life, said Tom Reed, a black-music historian. He was 90. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, Otis continued leading a big band R&B, jazz, soul, gospel and roots-rock revue in recent years, literally and figuratively beating the drum for the music that fired his imagination. "I get a wave of pride in America when I look back at what we've accomplished in the field of music," Otis told The San Francisco Chronicle in 2000. "People are going to wake up to this great reservoir of music we've created in America - cakewalks, one-steps, boogie-woogie, country and western. I had a bit to do with one of those traditions." "I'm not suggesting our music is the only music," he told The Times in 1986 when the once-endangered musical style he helped create was staging a comeback, "but I am suggesting that there are certain elements in America's culture that are so precious that it would be a shame for them to go down the drain." He was born John Veliotes on Dec. 28, 1921, in Vallejo, northeast of San Francisco, and was raised in Berkeley, where his father ran a grocery store in a largely black community. "When I got near teen age, I was so happy with my friends and the African American culture that I couldn't imagine not being part of it," Otis told The San Diego Union-Tribune in 1991. He started playing drums with big bands and jazz combos, and in his early 20s came to L.A. to join Harlan Leonard's Kansas City Rockers, the house band at Club Alabam on the thriving Central Avenue jazz-blues-R&B club scene. "Man, you could go into one club and there'd be (jazz saxophone giant) Lester Young jamming, go into another and you'd find T Bone (Walker, the Texas blues guitarist and singer), and down the street Miles (Davis) would be blowing," Otis said in 1979. "Yeah, L.A. was happening." But tough times in the late 1940s forced bandleaders to pare their large ensembles back to a small handful of players - the perfect size, as it turned out, for the new styles of R&B and rock 'n' roll that were emerging. "To compensate for all the instruments we were eliminating, we had to put in some new ones, each with a fuller sound: an electric guitar, a blues guitar, a boogie piano," Otis told The Times in 1984, and "the sound changed too, into more of a cross between swing and country blues.... We ended up creating a whole new art form: a hybrid music that became known as rhythm and blues." Otis scored a signature hit of that nascent style in 1946 with the moody, saxophone-driven instrumental "Harlem Nocturne," which was revived in 1960 by the white New Jersey rock group the Viscounts. At one point, Otis was asked to judge a talent competition in Detroit and selected three winners: Wilson, Ballard and Little Willie John. Otis' talent, he once said, was being able to "see something before anyone else." He wrote the song that became James' first charting hit - vaulting her to No. 1 on the R&B chart in 1955 - with "The Wallflower," popularly known as "Roll With Me Henry." It was a female-centric response to Ballard's sexually charged hit "Work With Me Annie" that raised eyebrows for its frankness. Then he came up with a variant on Bo Diddley's signature 1955 hit "Bo Diddley" using the same five-count "shave-and-a-haircut, two-bits!" beat and created a smash of his own in "Willie and the Hand Jive." It's been recorded dozens of times by a wide variety of musicians, most notably by Eric Clapton in 1974.

These shows to have a high audio quality require a lot of internet bandwidth and memory. And currently we can only afford the 25 latest shows online here at Rock-it Radio. So, when a new show is put online it knocks the oldest one off the Rock-it Radio archives page. Usually a show will at least last 16 to 20 days, once it is placed in the archives.

============================================== MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW ON ROCK-IT RADIO #3977 - BO DIDDLEY 1955
Bo Diddley: 1955
This week's "Juke In The Back" takes a look at the breakthrough year of one of rock n' roll's true architects and innovators, Bo Diddley. His first recording session was held at Chess Records in Chicago on March 2nd and 3rd, 1955, where he laid down 4 original tunes. One of those songs, "I'm A Man," would inspire blues great Muddy Waters' "Manish Boy," while the other, "Bo Diddley," would be the igniting spark for rock n' roll. Diddley was a complicated and compelling artist, who's talents go way beyond his signature "hambone" rhythm, his vibrato guitar and his crazy lyrics. Bo's spirit is the spirit of rebellion, the true ingredient for rock music. It all began in 1955 and this week's "Juke In The Back" will explore those roots.
1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947 2. Bumpity Bump - Smiley Lewis - Imperial 1955 3. Thunder Bird - Little Walter - Checker 1955 4. Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley - Checker 1955 5.

RADIO!
One of the biggest office expenses here at Rock-it Radio is
printer ink. Everytime we would go to Staples or Office Mart
we would pay $50 to $100 on printer ink. We have been able
to cut that cost in half with mailorder through 123 inkjet. We
liked the savings so much we have endorsed and became a
affiliate of this service. So, cut your printer ink costs in half
and help Rock-it Radio at the same time, by ordering through
123 Inkjets on our webpage. The link is at the bottom of our
main webpage at: http://www.rockitradio.net

savings of printer ink!

============================================== MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW ON ROCK-IT RADIO #3948 - FEATURING THE ORIOLES
The Orioles
The week, the "Juke In The Back" spotlights the most influential rhythm & blues vocal group of all-time. The Orioles hailed from Baltimore and featured lead vocals by Sonny Til, one of the most talented, dynamic and recognizable voices in history. Their first record, "It's Too Soon To Know" from 1948 ignited a new vocal movement that would develop into doo wop in the rock n' roll era. Til enjoyed tremendous success until he was vocally dethroned in the early 1950s by Clyde McPhatter and the new school of R&B vocal groups. Matt The Cat is joined by Diz Russell, who became an Oriole in the mid-1950s and still leads a group of Orioles today. Russell knew Sonny Til personally and provides some prospective on these historic and influential recordings as the "Juke" focuses on the golden era of Orioles. Their biggest hit, "Crying In The Chapel" would also prove to be the group's undoing. Fly high with the "high flying Orioles" as we celebrate R&B vocal groups in their purest form on this week's "Juke In The Back."

These shows to have a high audio quality require a lot of internet bandwidth and memory. And currently we can only afford the 25 latest shows online here at Rock-it Radio.
