Sunday Night Memories

Ahhh Sunday Night. Back in High School it meant two things. I'd have to get up very early to catch the bus for school tomorrow morning. However I had one more piece of weekend joy. At 8 PM every Sunday night during High School I'd rush up to my room and put on my favorite radio station and listen to my favorite program. "This is Doo Wop" Bruce and Shag would spin two hours of "Rock N' Roll, Rhythm & Blues, & Street Corner Harmony" from the 50's and early 1960's. Little did I know at the time but I would be spinning the same music over the Internet Radio airwaves during my upperclassman years and in college.

I know this music isn't modern or hip and most of you have never heard it before...but let me dust some of these records off and give 'em a spin.

Let's start off with a group that formed while in the military outside of Pittsburgh. These are the Dell-Vikings and Whispering Bells

Here's a group from outside of Chicago, The El Dorados singing Ling Ting Tong This kind of song would never work in our polittically correct world

This song might be familiar to more of you. The song would be covered in the movie The Blues Brothers. These are The Chips and Rubber Biscuit

Time to head out to The West Coast. These are the Cadets and the awesome rocker Love Bandit.

During the last half hour of "This is Doo Wop" it was time for the slow romantic ballads. they called the segment "Slide Over Baby!" I would do the same later with my "Slow Grind Time" segment

Presenting The Nutmegs out of New England. They are singing Key To The KIngdom. A sock smoker if I've ever heard one.

One more song. I'm going to dedicate this one to everyone who looks out their window at the stars at night and dreams of true love that hasn't happened yet and sometimes seems so far away. These are The Dubs singing Is There A Love For Me?
