“I’m gonna get up in the morning and I believe I’ll dust my broom”

Robert Johnson may have said it first, but it’s Elmore James’ 1951 recording of “Dust My Broom” on Trumpet Records that will live forever as the definitive version. Few people have said more with such few lines.


This week on HARLEM…

ELMORE JAMES

Love Won, Lost & Unrequited
on
HARLEM

This week, Harlem features an entire hour full of rhythm & blues love songs. Whether it’s songs about love won, lost or unrequited, Harlem’s got it covered. Oh, and what would a love songs show during Valentine’s week be without plenty of songs about drinkin’, cheatin’ and gamblin’? We’ve got those too. So open up a bottle of Jack Daniel’s good ol’ Tennessee Whiskey, because this is going to be a long week, on Harlem.

Harlem Airs on The 50s on 5:
Monday 2/13 @ 1pm over NYC
Tuesday 2/14 VALENTINE’S DAY @ 9pm PST / midnight EST
Friday 2/17 @ 6pm EST

Harlem Salutes One of the Forgotten Greats…

Little Esther Phillips

She was only 15 years old when she scored 3 #1 R&B; hits in 1950 singing lead for The Johnny Otis Orchestra. This would also be the year that her addiction to heroin would begin as well. She would struggle throughout her career, going from Little Esther in 1950 and returning to the #1 spot in 1962 with “Release Me” as Esther Phillips. Matt The Cat brings you the true story of an American R&B; legend, Miss Esther Phillips, this week on HARLEM; the soul that came before Rock n’ Roll.

Harlem airs on the 50s on 5:
Monday 2/6 @ 1pm EST
Tuesday 2/7 @ 9pm PST and Midnight EST
Friday 2/10 @ 6pm
Sunday 2/12 @ 11am
