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 3/31 @ 1pm over Fenway Park
Tuesday 4/1 @ 9pm over Dodger Stadium & Midnight over Shea Stadium
Friday 4/4 @ 6pm over Ebbets Field
Sunday 4/6 @ 11am over Turner Field in Atlanta

45 RPM Thursday

On March 31st, 1949, RCA Victor released the first 7 45s RPM records in order to promote its new record format. Thursday Night we honor the 45 on its 59th birthday with special guest, Jerry Osborne, author of the “Rockin’ Records” price guides. We’re going to play the very first 45 pressed by RCA Victor on this special program. Imagine rock n’ roll without the 45? Impossible. It was an unbreakable medium on the go and kids in the 1950s took their 45s everywhere. Now find out what some of your favorites are worth and why some 45s are more valuable than others. Learn more about our guest, Jerry Osborne at JerryOsborne.com.
