Have yourself a merry little Christmas and always remember that nutmeg brings out the flavor of your egg nog….rum certainly doesn’t hurt either.

This week HARLEM dedicates an entire hour to those women of rhythm and blues that changed the world. Their names are legendary and so is their music. You’ll hear Ruth Brown, Ann Cole, LaVern Baker, Sister Wynona Carr, Big Mama Thorton and Hadda Brooks, just to name a few. These women mean business and they’re gonna show Matt The Cat a thing or two about livin’, lovin’ and drinkin’. Watch out.

This week, Matt The Cat spotlights one of the greatest R&B; vocal groups of all time, The Swallows. Today, they’re mostly remembered for their risqué classic “It Ain’t The Meat” (which wasn’t a hit at the time), but their real strength was in ballads. Their smooth, harmonies are almost peerless. Catch all of their amazing R&B; hits as well as the story behind the story on The Swallows, this week on Harlem.
