Rhythm & Blues

Harlem gets fat all week (not just Tuesday) with a full hour of nothing but great New Orleans rhythm & blues from the early ’50s. Celebrate Mardi Gras in the juke joint with the likes of Fats Domino, Professor Longhair and Smiley Lewis. I spilt gumbo all over my 45s and 78s.

Keep it soulful, ya hear!
