RICHARD MIGNONA - PHILADELPHIA INTENTIONS
PASSES AWAY. reported by: Butchie Boy Olmstead.

Seems like this is becoming a sad weekly routine bro's.. but
we've lost yet another from the Doo Wop group vocal harmony family.
Richard Mignona of Philadelphia's "Intentions" passed away after a long illness. Following obit is from Bob Bosco.

Richard Mignona- tenor and lead singer for Jimmy & the Towers, the
Intentions on Jamie, respectively. In 1959 while in his mid teens,
Rich joined Jimmy & the Towers, a vocal group located in Grays Ferry. After nearlly a year of regular rehearsal, they were signed to DeBann Records, etching a stellar two-sider, "Meaning of Love" and "One More Chance." Recorded at Swan's Studios at 17th & Jackson, the disking, while poorly promoted, was played over white-owned superstation WIBG by such deejays as Joe Niagara, Tom Donahue, and Bill Wright. Without the customary sawbuck in the record's sleeve, it nonetheless
earned considerable spins over the black outlets like WHAT and WDAS,
with Kae Williams, Jocko, Rockin' Robin, and Mitch Thomas (in Wilmington) promoting the platter. Even Georgie Woods, the Guy With the Goods, aired it Eventually, the hubub o ver the waxing died down, but the Towers forged on for a couple more years, performing (they danced, too!) at dances, hops, parties, or winning contests in South Philadelphia versus rival groups who were older and more accomplished. They appeared with the world-famous
Platters, the Dream Lovers, and local chanteuse, Maureen Gray, and were on TV with Grady & Hurst on "Summertime At the Pier" in Atlantic City. Mignona, eventually drifted toward another seminal South Philly quintet, the Intentions, who landed a contract with local independent Jamie/Guyden Records. This time as lead singer, the ensemble recorded at least ten sides for Jamie who had high hopes for the boys, but only one coupling saw the light of day: "Summertime Angel" / "Mr. Misery." Though the record was a turntable hit, copies were not pressed up for sale, so a clean copy of this
record today is worth a small fortune. Yet the tune itself endures. All during summer
months you can hear it on such local stations as 98.1 (Harvy Holiday), 92.1 (Lou Costello, Dennis the Doo Wop Cop), or WRDV in Hatboro (Mr. Lee, Todd Allen, Lady M, the Grimm Reaper & others).
Following his stint with the Intentions, Rich served in the Navy aboard the USS Essex, assisting in the pick-up of parachuting Apollo astronauts, then enlisted with the Philadelphia Police Department. In 1981 he was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy, and in recent years was wheelchair bound.Bob Bosco, who specializes in composing articles about acts who nearly made good, communicated with Mr. Mignona through his wife Betty, and he related
a hilarious yarn about both the Towers and later the Intentions. Seems as if they thought nothing of thumbing their way to Wildwood penniless, then sang on the Boardwalk to earn money for the trip back and for food. They did this 4 to 5 times each summer and often came home with piles of cash, often outsinging rival groups right under or on the Boardwalk in front of applauding teens.
Though he could no longer sing (or hardly speak) in later years, he still revered the music and thoroughly enjoyed his trek through pop music, and extended
thanks to all those random souls who pitched them quarters from the Wildwood
Pier. Those memories, ever vivid for him, remained until his sudden passing this week.
He married his teenage sweetheart, Betty James, in 1968 and their union produced
four children all now grown.
------------------------------------------
Lane Quigley also sadly reported also on 10/21/08 that:

I just received this news in an e-mail from R&B Historian
Marv Goldberg:
Sad to report that Jimmy McGowan, lead singer of The Four Fellows,
has passed away. A paraplegic, he was an inspiration to all, taking up
skydiving and attempting to swim the English Channel. He also photographed wheelchair sports and wrote books, while working as a technician in a cytology lab. Our "Soldier Boy" is gone. We're all a little poorer for it.

CELEBRATING VINYL RECORD DAY!
By: Rock-it Radio writer -- Robert Benson.

When Thomas Edison invented the phonograph on August 12, 1877, little did he know just how much influence his "Talking Machine" would have, not only in the music industry, but in pop culture as well. Records are a part of the music of the ages and it is up to us as individuals and retailers,
not only to enjoy our favorite recordings, but to preserve them as well;
thus Vinyl Record Day was born.
Vinyl Record Day (www.VinylRecordDay.org) is celebrated on August 12th (or the first Saturday following the 12th) and was conceived and brought to the forefront by vinyl enthusiast and vinyl record historian Gary Freiberg. I spoke with Gary about the meaning of Vinyl Record Day and how we can help as individuals and what retailers can do to help preserve this timeless medium and international treasure.
"Vinyl Record Day is about celebrating vinyl records and the public should take notice of this special day. Invite friends and family over for a barbeque, maybe form a block party and play records, think records and talk about records and what they mean to each of us individually and culturally," explained Gary.

Gary went into further detail, "Whatever the feel good aspects of Vinyl Record Day are, a retailer will ask how will this help my bottom line? Vinyl Record
Day can get free publicity, it puts a good face on a business within their
community and is a reason to have something special at the location: a
parking lot sale, entertainment, store specials are great examples. I
would hope the industry would become more involved with Vinyl Record
Day so that, not only are the goals of Vinyl Record Day spread, but that
people trying to make all or part of their living with vinyl could be part of
an industry and not scattered individuals. We need to have a cohesive national
impact as the milk industry did with their "Got Milk" campaign. I truly believe that Internet and traditional brick store owners could benefit financially, and in the case of brick store owners, in their communities by being part of Vinyl Record Day. Another important goal of Vinyl Record Day is to preserve the cultural influences, the recordings and the cover art. We also hope to increase awareness that economics prevents companies from transferring everything on to compact discs."
A very dynamic and immensely important point Gary talked about is that only 5% of our musical history has been transferred to CD, so it is our responsibility to preserve this medium. Maybe your grandfather, sibling or cousin released a record and, although it may have not made the "top ten," it is our music and some of these wonderful recordings cannot be found anywhere else. For instance,
I own a vinyl copy of a Spiro Agnew speech and one of our most revered
presidents John F. Kennedy has released several recordings, as have other influential and historical figures.
Additionally, Vinyl Record Day is a nonprofit organization that aims to
educate the public and encourage all of us to preserve these international audio treasures. It is also a marketing opportunity for any vinyl record
retailer."Vinyl Record Day is focused on educating the public that this timeless medium
is in our hands; don't leave the preservation of vinyl to fate. Vinyl records represent historical audio documents and just as we preserve historical literature,
we are the custodians of this audio history. Vinyl Record Day is more than one day a year set aside for celebration, it is also for the industry itself," acknowledged Gary. "
We also discussed past celebrations, from the inaugural Vinyl Record Day in San Luis County, California and the international support and attention that Vinyl Record Day receives as well.
"Vinyl Record Day hopes to continue to educate the public on why and
how to care for a record collection because these collections are not only
a part of who we are individually, but to assure that future generations
will not lose a vital link in recorded history," related Gary.
As an avid vinyl record collector, I truly enjoyed my conversation with Gary,
who is very passionate about the cause. Vinyl Record Day is a nonprofit
organization that needs the help of all of us, consumers, collectors, musicians, retailers as well as the record companies. So, as you celebrate Vinyl Record Day this August, think about the history, preservation of the format and enjoyment you receive when listening to your favorite records.
For more information and how you can help as an individual, please visit the
website, http://www.VinylRecordDay.org and let Gary know that you
endorse all of his efforts.
(You may even donate your record collection to Vinyl Record Day and
you can receive full value as a tax write-off. Vinyl Record Day needs
money to promote, not only Vinyl Record Day, but can help retailers in
their own business endeavors)

XM & SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO - SEVERELY CUTS 50'S
CHANNEL & OTHERS Reported by Rick Ward...

Large Downsizing At Sirius XM Satellite Radio
ALL ACCESS is hearing about a significant downsizing in the programming staff at SIRIUS XM SATELLITE RADIO. Word has it that as many 25 folks are out from the XM staff, including:
'50s Channel Program Director KEN SMITH, '50s Channel DJ MATT THE CAT, '60s Channel Program Director PAT CLARK, '80s Channel DJ/afternooner KANDY KLUTCH, Cross-Country Program Director JESSIE SCOTT, Decades Channel Sr. Program Director KURT GILCHRIST, and Cafe Program Director BILL EVANS, Ethel Channey DJ ERIK RANGE, among many others.

Dear Friends,
The above is from www.allacess.com an industry web news letter. We are sad about this for our good friend Matt The Catt Baldassari. He is a wonderful person who was married Oct. 4th in California. This was his wedding Gift upon his return to Washington on Tuesday. It seems someone screwed up. When employees of SiriusXM went to their respective intranet company site to check their vacation time, Salary & benefits they discovered they had been terminated effective
Nov. 5. This was posted on Oct. 14th. That WAS NOT suppose to be posted until Nov. 5th but someone (?) screwed up.
With the New SiriusXM turning into a 150 song rotation Jukebox, Rock-it Radio now more than ever before has a huge vacuum to fill. In conclusion it's apparent that the original desire of satellite radio was to "think out side the box. Don't think terrestrial AM - FM radio" This mission statement has changed with new management. It's now "think
and act exactly like terrestrial radio i.e. short play lists, no personalities,
nothing but a jukebox" We wish Matt the Cat the best during these difficult times. Matt is responsible for my happiness since I meet my wife & was married live from Las Vegas on his show. God bless my Pal & Buddy & his new wife Kelli.


=============================================
THE FINAL DANCE IS OVER -- MORE ON MATT THE CAT


The Final Dance is over.......................
A great time was had by all who attended the Final show of Matt The Cat on SiriusXM channel 5 last evening (october 15, 2008) Sadly most of the listeners were unaware that this was the last of a 7 year love affair with 50's radio, the way it used to sound when those oldies were newies and of our furry leader Matt The Catt. Matt was not permitted to mention in anyway that this was his swan song.

Matt kicked it all four hours and never missed a cue. The music, phone calls, chatter and good time sounds we have all grown to love are now gone.
Matt being barely in his 30's wasn't even a gleam in his dad's eye when the music of the 50's & pre Beatle 60's were new. Yet from day one on XM he spent 8 to 14 hours a day learning even more then he knew from his memories of his older siblings playing that good ole rock & roll in his early youth.
By now Matt had become somewhat of an expert in the field. I introduced him to Billy Vera a few years back which immediately developed into a long lasting friendship.
I don't exactly know how many "Harlem" programs Matt produced and are in the can but they covered the early years of R&R when it was called "Race Music". He has interviewed so many rock & Roll icons such as Ahmet Etergun,
Lloyd Price, Pooky Hudson, Earl "Speedo" Carroll just to mention a few.
That's all history now...Sad. God knows in general radio sucks. I think I'll take a nap now & dream of better times and pleasant memories.

BURLINGTON 2008 - HUGE SUCCESS FOR DOO WOP FANS
reported by: Pete Chaston -- Rock-it Radio

Burlington 08: Magic For Vocal Group Harmony Fans
via -- Todd Baptista
Twenty-five years after producing what many vocal group enthusiasts
consider the greatest and most important concert event in the genres
history, producer Mark del Costello celebrated by returning to
Burlington County, New Jersey on Saturday, October 4, 2008, with a
lineup of 21 different acts, many of whom had not performed publicly
in nearly a half-century. With support from the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame and Museum, the Black Swan Society staged two three-hour
shows at the cozy Mayo Theater on the College of New Jersey campus
before a select group of enthusiasts and collectors who paid $200 per
ticket. As in 1983, professional film crews and sound engineers
captured it all for a planned DVD release.
Coming more than 50 years after many of the acts disbanded, some
wondered if there could be any magic left. By the time that
returning emcee Bobby Jay left the stage at 11:30 that night, there
was no question as to the degree of talent present, and the
importance and sheer emotional impact of the event. Not only did
Burlington 08 serve as a catalyst to reunite collectors and fans with
the artists and one another, it introduced a host of never-before-
seen performers to those who had listened to their records for
decades, and it did so in spectacular style.
The Sheps kicked off the proceedings with a rousing acappella set
highlighted by a sparkling version of the El Dorados classic, There
In The Night. Original Castelles George Grant and Billy Taylor were
joined by Wes Hayes, Formations and Troupers vet Matt Atkinson, and
Ron Kennedy for a Philadelphia Tribute set early in the afternoon,
with Grants pristine lead tenor still intact on classics including
Over A Cup Of Coffee and This Silver Ring.
Calvaes lead James Zeke Brown delivered his recordings to an audience
for the first time in a half-century, picking up the tempo with a
rollicking Born With Rhythm, backed soulfully by the Sheps. With the
equally tight Bravados accompanying, Eulas Mason of the Martells and
the California-based Charades delivered brief but entertaining sets,
sandwiching Bill Witt of the Rocketones, who raised the bar with
spirited renditions of Dee and Mexico, ably backed by the Sheps.
The first performance of the Kool Gents in more than 50 years was
limited to just two songs when second lead Tommy Williams fell ill
backstage. The group- which included pioneers Cicero Blake, Howard
McClain, Doug Brown, and John Carter, soldiered on with the solid
blues ballads, This Is The Night and I Just Can't Help Myself,
drawing audible gasps from the crowd. Brooklyn, New York's original
Bay Bops sang together for the first time since 1958.
The Continentals, with original lead Danny Hicks, were among the most
polished acts on the bill, impressing with spot-on versions of their
Whirlin' Disc sides, highlighted by Dear Lord. The Sheppards lone
survivor, lead tenor Mil Edwards, still possesses the warm,
distinctive voice heard on the groups records, which he demonstrated
on soulful renditions of Island Of Love and Tragic, backed by the
Bravados.
Terry Johnson's Flamingos closed the first show with an 11-song set
featuring chestnuts spanning Terry;s career with the Whispers,
Starglows, and Flamingos. The 69 year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
inductee's skills as a vocal arranger, storyteller, singer, and
showman shined brightly throughout. Resplendent in sparkling gold
and black outfits, Johnson, Theresa Trigg, Jeff Calloway, and Joe
Mirrione were flawless on hits including Lovers Never Say Goodbye and
Mio Amore and collectors' favorites including the Whispers Are You
Sorry and Fool Heart. Listening to the dreamy Tenderly, spotlighting
Ms. Trigg, and But Not For Meâ, Johnson's complex harmony patterns
made four voices sound like six. From the op ening notes of "When I
Fall in Love" to the closing strains of "I Only Have Eyes For You",
Terry Johnson's Flamingos were, quite simply, world-class.
The Sparrows Quartette opened the second show with a strong acappella
set, and were ably followed by late additions Dino and the
Heartspinners and Lillian Leach and the Mellows. Gene Tompkins' take
on the Ink Spots If I Didn;t Care was a highlight in the latters
performance, their first in four years. New Haven, Connecticuts
Academics made a rare appearance, and were followed by Morris Wade,
the original lead of the Columbus Four Pharaohs. With backing from
the Bravados, the six-foot five Wade was impressive and impassioned,
delivering Give Me Your Love and “Is It Too Late? in a soulful
baritone that drew shouts.
The Wrens, featuring original lead Bobby Mansfield, were another
highlight, with the hauntingly beautiful C'Est La Vie and the rocking
Come Back My Love. John Carbone, an original lead of the Five Discs,
and his group were warmly received on a handful of favorites,
including Adios and Never Let You Go. The Discs group returned to
back Paradons lead Charles Weldon who delivered a note-for-note
version of his signature hit, Diamonds and Pearls.
Lord Luther McDaniels made his first East Coast appearance in
decades, mixing several of his best known solo sides with a pair of
the tunes he recorded as the Four Deuces lead singer, climaxing with
an all-out W-P-L-J, backed by the Sheps that brought the audience to
its feet once again.
Closing the festivities was the highly-anticipated reunion of the
Solitaires, with eight men lending their voices to the 15-song set.
Longtime lead Milton Love and his current aggregation were joined on
stage by veteran bass Fred Barksdale and his predecessor, Pat Gaston,
who performed the opening recitation on The Wedding.
Love delivered spell-binding versions of Embraceable You, Nothing
Like A Little Love, and his recording debut with the Concords,
Candlelight, proving the veteran tenor remains a master of his craft
at 71.
The cometh in a day filled with bright stars, however, came with the
presence of 72 year-old Herman Dunham, the groups original lead
singer. Dunham has been something of an enigma since leaving the
Solitaires in late 1957, primarily performing gospel music in local
churches while living in both New York and Washington. There is no
question that Hermans crystal-clear high tenor has changed through
the years. Gone is the high falsetto that was once an effortless
slide from his natural, soft voice. That role is now capably filled
by tenor Don Cruz. But for raw power, emoti on, and luster, the
soulful Dunham was perhaps the highlight of the entire evening,
drawing one standing ovation after another for Wonder Why, My Dear, I
Really Love You So (Honey Babe), Blue Valentine, and Please Remember
My Heart.
The impact among the performers themselves was, quite simply,
overwhelming. There was such emotion that day among the singers, del
Costello explained later. Terry Johnson of the Flamingos and Pat
Gaston of the Solitaires, among others, told me that I "had no idea
what I had done for them, the singers and this music. This was much
more than just a concert. Many, including Morris Wade of the
Columbus Pharaohs, Mil Edwards of the Sheppards, and members of the
Kool Gents seemed overcome as they exited the stage following their
performances. Tears and hugs were the norm. Edwards, who was
cajoled out of retirement by his grandchildren, remarked I found
myself thinking about the guys in the group who have all passed
away. It got to me out there, and I really didn't expect that to
happen. This was the first time I've sung these songs in public
since 1959, Wade admitted. I'm so happy right now I can't even tell
you.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame President and CEO Terry Stewart called the
1983 show the most important concert of all timeand the 25th
anniversary event one of the best concerts of all-time. It would be
hard to argue with his assessment. On the so-called oldies circuit,
artists often sit in the dressing rooms, playing cards or chatting
until their set time arrives. On this day, performers hunted down
one of the few empty seats or opted for a standing room spot for the
opportunity to watch their peers. Lillian Leach and the Mellows were
spellbound by Terry Johnsons Flamingos. The Bay Bops cheered the
Continentals. The Flamingos shouted for the Wrens. It was a long
day, to be sure, but no one was looking for an early ride back to the
hotel.
The necessary camera and film changes were seamless, with zero dead
time from start to finish and bandleader Hal Keshner and his combo
were well-rehearsed, authentic, and effective throughout,
complementing the acts nicely. Del Costello promised patrons that
Black Swan Productions would announce another event soon, with more
than three dozen groups in the chute for future concerts. As patrons
and performers alike headed out into the chilly autumn night, nothing
but smiles, handshakes, and words of praise could be heard. Del
Costello had, indeed brought back the glories of that special 1983
event. But, more importantly, he delivered flowers to the living,
and, in the process, rekindled the artistic flame among a select
group of pione ers who had been silent far too long.

SPECIAL REPEAT BROADCAST AND TRIBUTE - LLOYD
THAXTON INTERVIEW ON ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #2733.

We thought in his loving memory this past week we would
re broadcast a show that Lloyd Thaxton did with Lane Quigley
back in April of 2006. It was released then as show #1654.
And here is the promo for that show below as it appeared then.
---------------
If you were a teenager or young adult in the U.S. during the mid-'60's, then you most likely have fond memories of watching The Lloyd Thaxton Show. Lloyd's daily dance party show originated on KCOP Channel 13 in Los Angeles from 1962-68, and was syndicated to 100 stations across the U.S.for several of those years. Lloyd's wacky personality set his program apart from Dick Clark's bandstand and all of the other local dance programs of the era. As the music business changed in the late 60's, Lloyd went on
to become a TV producer and director, picking up five Emmy's over the ensuing years.
On Rock-it Radio Show Number 1654 (2733), Lloyd Thaxton visits Studio B and sits down with host Lane Quigley for a delightful conversation reminiscing about some of the highlights and wacky stunts that made The Lloyd Thaxton Show so popular. Lloyd selected the music for the show, and he has a great
story to go along with each song. We invite you to sit back and enjoy an entertaining two hour program with this television legend.
1. So What - Bill Black Combo
2. So What's New - Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
3. The Twist - Chubby Checker
4. King of the Road - Roger Miller
5. All I Really Want To Do - The Byrds
6. Secret Agent Man - Johnny Rivers
7. Tennessee Ska - Lloyd Thaxton
8. Gospel Medley - Jennifer Weatherly (Lloyd's Daughter)
9. Kick That Little Foot Sally Ann - Round Robin
10. Out of Sight - James Brown
11. Hey Harmonica Man - Little Stevie Wonder
12. On The Sunny Side of the Street - Frank Sinatra
13. Nothing But Heartaches - The Supremes
14. Laugh at Me - Sonny
15. Little Latin Lupe Lu - The Righteous Brothers
16. In My Room - The Beach Boys
17. Little Old Lady From Pasadena - Jan & Dean
18. All My Lovin' - The Beatles
If you would like to write to Lane with a request for a future show
or just to say hello or some comments you can reach him
at: memorylaneshow@rockitradio.net

of that "First Decade" we so passionately hail... but alas, on September 1st
we lost Isaiah Bing, 2nd tenor, of the King Odom Four and the Larks of Lloyds
Records. One of my fave 'Larks' tune ( which was in my last "Diner" show-
and could almost be our anthem! ) is "Rockin' in the Rocket Room"!! I have
no details other than Isaiah was 81 years of age. Then On Saturday, September 27th
we lost "Rama Lama Ding Dong" writer George "Wydell" Jones of the Edsels after
a long bout with cancer. God rest their souls...

WHY NEWSLETTER STOPPAGE ???

This past week I received a couple of e mails of why they stopped receiving the Rock-it Radio newsletter. I thought I would address this problem here in the newsletter. It is all caused by the prevention of spam -- I would never
stop anyone from receiving this newsletter, but at times suddenly people may experience a sudden stoppage of not receiving the Rock-it Newsletter. And since everyone has different Internet Service Providers and spam filters Internet e mails the solution is never easy. Here is a bit of an explanation of what happens --


How and why does it happen ?? -- No one likes spam and your e mail provider has probably programmed what they can to prevent you from having to deal with this, by putting in filters of mass e mailings. Usually a good thing - but with the Rock-it Radio newsletter of those that have signed up over 7500 members worldwide - Our mass weekly e mailing may be thought of as 'Spam' in your e mail account and is trashed before it reaches your e mail in box.


Possible Solutions -- If your internet e mail server has a 'trash bin' you may want to look for the newsletter there. Another possible solution is to get another e mail account
for free -- Google and 'gmail' free account usually works good along with the free service of Yahoo or even AOL has free e mail now at: http://www.aol.com After you get a new
e mail account you need to of course re-join the club by going to our main webpage at: http://www.rockitradio.net and at the top of the page click to the banner to join with your new e mail address.

I realize that is quite a pain to have to go thru for this newsletter so remember you can always read the newsletter online also. I have tried to make it a habit to get the most recent newsletter online within 24 hours of it being released on Fridays. You can always view our newsletter and playlist at: http://www.rockitradio.net/newsletter.html
And if you want to see newsletters of the past you can also see those archived at:
http://rockitradio.blogstream.com where we have archived our newsletters for the past 3 years.
I wish the solution was simpler -- but with the battle against spam and phishing out in the internet cyber world -- We are sometimes just a casualty of friendly fire by the internet providers.

ROCK-IT RADIO INTERFERENCE ISSUES
IMPROVE DRASTICALLY

While concerned that some Rock-it Radio listener's were not able to
hear our broadcasts in MP3 format. Last week we adjusted and shielded
our cables that much more and appear to have vastly improve problems
from the audio bleed in from Oxnard based Radio Station KOXR on
operating on 910 AM with a Mexican Ranchera Music format.
The adjustments seem to have improved greatly the Audio Quality and
less audio bleed in of the above station. With the improvements we were
also able to have all of our encoding done in the usual format of Real
Media format.

Well that is just about it for this newsletter and playlists of our latest
shows. We hope that you enjoy them.
We will do our best to keep these shows on for at least 7
days and hopefully 14 days.

All the best always,
