Harlem: Week Of 4/2/07 - R&B Baseball!

Harlem is GOING...GOING....GONE!!!


Rhythm & Blues Baseball Songs

In 1947, Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby injected hope into the hearts of millions of Americans as they broke down the colour-barrier in major league baseball. This joy is reflected in the rhythm and blues music that emerged. This week, Matt The Cat takes you out to the ol' ballgame with stacks of hot wax celebrating America's great pastime. Celebrate XM's coverage of MLB with HARLEM on the 50s on 5.




Harlem airs on the 50s on 5:
Monday 4/2 @ 1pm over Fenway Park
Tuesday 4/3 @ 9pm over Dodger Stadium & Midnight over Shea Stadium
Friday 4/6 @ 6pm over Ebbets Field
Sunday 4/8 @ 11am over Turner Field in Atlanta

Come To The Night Prowler Reunion At Sea!

The Night Prowl Invades The Pacific Ocean!

The First Night Prowl Reunion!

I've been asked by The Truckin' Bozo (XM 171) to emcee the oldies show aboard his yearly cruise and you're invited. This Norwegian Cruise will leave Los Angeles and make stops along The Mexican Riviera for 8 days (February 12-20, 2008). Come join Bozo, myself, Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon, Carl Dobkins Jr. and JIMMIE RODGERS as we soak up the sun and fun on the high seas. For years, Night Prowlers have been asking me to have a Night Prowl Reunion so all the regular Prowlers can meet each other. Well, here's your chance to talk food with Yum Yum, drink beer with The Real George and let Long Island Bob tell you his life story. You can finally meet Cross Country Kelly, in the flesh. You will meet the only people to get married LIVE on The Night Prowl Show (Rockin' Rick and Judy Judy), eat some great food and see some great live performances (Boom Boom).

Reservations for cabins are going fast. Call 800-815-8893, Mon Thru Fri between 9am and 5pm only, but call soon.

Make sure you tell them that you are WITH the Night Prowl Show!

I hope everyone can make it.

Cabins are double occupency. If you want to go alone and need to find a Prowler to room with, go to the Plattah Chattah Forum and post for one.

You will need a valid Passport to travel on this cruise.

Soulfully,

Harlem: Week Of 3/19/07 - The Checkers

The

Checkers

The Checkers formed at the end of 1951, when Charlie White and Bill Brown left The Dominoes. Get it! They left the Dominoes and formed THE CHECKERS. Yeah well, they picked up a few other guys and they were off recording for King Records. After 3 years together and no hits, they called it quits. But what they left behind is a treasure trove of 1950s rhythm and blues. Get the story behind the Checkers and some of their greatest recordings on this week's HARLEM.

Harlem Airs on The 50s on 5:
Monday 3/19 @ 1pm EST
Tuesday 3/20 @ 9pm PST - Midnight EST
Friday 3/23 @ 6pm EST
Sunday 3/25 @ 11am EST

Night Prowl Show Extended!

Beginning on Monday, March 19, 2007, the Night Prowl Show will be extended to FIVE big hours of early rock n' roll and R&B.

Catch The Night Prowl Monday through Thursday from 7pm to Midnight ET - 4pm to 9pm PT. The Friday Night Prowl will remain 7pm to 11pm ET - 4pm to 8pm PT and will continue to be followed by Daddy Dave's Hollywood Diner.

Since the government took an hour away from you this past weekend, we thought we'd give you an EXTRA hour of The Night Prowl Show beginning this Monday, March 19th.

As always, thanks for listening to the Night Prowl and Harlem on the 50s on 5.
