Special Guest: Ernie Maresca

For the first time in Night Prowl history, we’re featuring the great sounds that came out of the East Coast, especially New York City. Matt The Cat will be joined by one of the greatest songwriters from the early 1960s, Ernie Maresca, who grew up in The Bronx and wrote Dion’s biggest hits (“Runaround Sue” and “The Wanderer”). He worked at Laurie records for nearly 30 years and has lots of stories to share. Oh and don’t forget Ernie had his own top 10 hit (#6) in 1962 with “Shout! Shout! Knock Yourself Out”.

This will surely be a Doo Wop Thursday Night Prowl Show to remember as Matt The Cat is joined by one of Doo Wop’s unsung heroes. Earl Lewis was there at the beginning and with the Channels recorded some of the best remembered records of the era. What was it like to tour back in the mid 1950s? What was New York City like back then for emerging vocal groups? How was the record business? These questions and more will be answered live on the radio, as Earl Lewis joins Matt The Cat for Doo Wop Thursday.

Thursday, March 1st from 4-7pm EST
