HARLEM
In the 1950s JACKIE WILSON had it all. His looks, his moves and his incredible voice shook the nation and helped to usher in the dawn of rock n’ roll. Where do you think Elvis got all those pelvic gyrations? He got ’em from JACKIE, man. Hear Jackie Wilson’s earth shaking beginnings as lead vocalist for the Dominoes through to his 1957 breakthrough and beyond. Look up “soul” in your dictionaries and sure enough you’ll find a picture of Jackie Wilson (and Bobby Bennett), because he was there when it all began and so was HARLEM on the 50s on 5.

Catch Harlem 5 times weekly on the 50s on 5:
Monday 1/9 @ 1pm over Brooklyn, NY
Tuesday 1/10 @ 9pm over LA & midnight over Medford, MA
Friday 1/13 @ 6pm over Baltimore, MD
Sunday 1/15 @ 11am over Harlem, NY

Happy New Year!
Thank you, cats n’ kittens for making 2005 a great year for XM and especially for me. The show has grown by leaps and bounds and it’s all because of your listenership, participation and love for some of the greatest music ever made. I’ve got some great things planned in 2006, so keep your radios on and turned up.
All the best to you and your family and here’s to hopes of a great, peaceful New Year.
Soulfully,
-Matt The Cat
This week on Harlem…
BEFORE HE WAS CROWNED
“KING”
Elvis was busy being influenced by RHYTHM & BLUES!

This week HARLEM prowls around the back alleys of Memphis searching for the original R&B; versions of songs that ELVIS made immortally popular. January 8th marks what would have been Elvis’ 71st birthday. Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to hear three different versions of the classic “Good Rockin’ Tonight” as it progressed from Roy Brown to Wynonie “Mr. Blues” Harris to ELVIS himself. There’s good rockin’ this week on the 50s on 5’s HARLEM with Matt The Cat.

Harlem will groove you on the 50s on 5 all week:
Monday 1/2 @ 1pm EST
Tuesday Night 1/3 @ 9pm over LA & midnight over NYC
Friday Night 1/6 @ 6pm over Portland, ME
