The Five Keys Try For A 3rd Straight Win!
The Five Keys from Newport News, VA won their 2nd decisive Cat Fight last week against the DC-based Clovers. Well, The Keys are back this week trying to make it 3 weeks in a row atop the Friday Night Cat Fight! I think your preference in music will show this week, as their competition is rockabilly singer, Buddy Knox. Voice you choice; Doo Wop OR Rockabilly when it comes to “Ling Ting Tong”.

This week’s Cat Fight is pure blues baby. Bo Diddley wrote the song and it appeared as the B-side on his debut single for Checker Records in March of 1955. Two months later, Muddy Waters cut his own version of the song and re-titled it, “Manish Boy”. Now, it’s your turn to decide who got it right?

The Legacy Of Buddy Holly
Last week, The Crickets (without Buddy Holly) were beaten to a pulp by The Bobby Fuller Four. This week, the same match-up continues as The Crickets return again without Buddy Holly to battle Bobby Fuller. This is a very interesting Cat Fight as you’re going to hear Buddy Holly’s actual DEMO of the song “Love’s Made A Fool Of You” and then The Crickets recording of it from Feb of 1959. It’s up against Bobby Fuller Four’s 1966 top 30 hit version of the song. Will this week’s Cat Fight be deja vu of last week’s or will we have a NEW winner? It’s up to you, The Night Prowlers to decide.

This week’s Friday Night Cat Fight takes a song penned by The Crickets’ Sonny Curtis and turns it into a rock n’ roll anthem. Originally recorded by the post-Buddy Holly Crickets in April of 1959, it was covered twice by Bobby Fuller. I’m putting The Crickets’ original up against Bobby Fuller’s 2nd version, the one that hit #9 on the pop charts in 1966. Decide for yourselves, Night Prowlers, which one you dig the most and then vote below. Maybe The Clash will make an appearance on next week’s Cat Fight….

This week, we have another Friday Night Cat Fight that goes out of our original 1950s timeline when the Fight took place on the radio. This is the web and all boundaries are shattered. We find Lloyd Price’s cousin, Larry Williams, up against those lads from Liverpool, The Beatles. The Fab Four did many great R&B covers in their early days and this week’s Cat Fight of “Bad Boy” is no exception. See which version you dig the most, the original by Larry Williams or the Beatles faithful cover.
