This is a rebroadcast of the Rock-a-Barry Weekend show from June 25, 2016. We play old R&B, country music, rock ‘n roll and pop music from the 1940s into the 70s. In this show we talk of the influence of Arthur ‘Big Boy’ Crudup on rock ‘n roll and specifically Elvis Presley. We talk a little about Big Mabelle and her influence on the music of Jerry Lee Lewis. All this is surrounded by music from Ray Charles, Billy Ward and The Dominos, Jackie Wilson, Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong and more. In hour two we explore the music of Burt Bacharach and his partners, Hal and Mack David and Bob Hilliard.
