In 1956, Freed hosted a summer replacement series over CBS Radio called The Rock and Roll Dance Party. Each week, he&#8217;d feature the top R&B; groups, backed by Count Basie&#8217;s orchestra and Sam &#8220;The Man&#8221; Taylor. Joe Williams even sang with the band on some of the shows. For the first time in 50 years, these performances will air on national radio as HARLEM dedicates a solid hour to these wonderful, forgotten live gems. Live recordings are very rare from the 1950s, so this week&#8217;s HARLEM is quite a milestone.<br \/><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color:#3333ff;\">HARLEM airs on the 50s on 5:<br \/><\/span><span style=\"color:#000099;\">Monday 11\/20 @ 1pm over NYC<br \/>Tuesday 11\/21 @ 9pm over LA &#8211; Midnight over Newark<br \/>Friday 11\/24 @ 6pm over Boston (where a 1957 rock n&#8217; roll show put on by Freed caused a riot)<br \/>Sunday 11\/26 @ 11am over Atlanta<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the FIRST TIME in 50 Years!HARLEM presents LIVE vintage performances by the top rhythm and blues acts of 1956 as performed on Alan Freed&#8217;s Rock N&#8217; Roll Dance Party Radio show.
