COLOR RADIO AND R+B, DOO WOP, ROCK+ROLL |
|
That's the name of my radio show, also know as the Rhythm And Blues Review. The show is heard every Saturday evening from 4-6 PM Pacific time, and has been on the regular airwaves over eighteen years. Radio station KVMR-FM is also part of internet radio, and you can listen live. The best of R+B, Doo Wop and rock and roll is played in an upbeat style, reminiscent of the old radio shows of the 50's and 60's, complete with Pams jingles and a tribute to the Color Radio format. Also,I am now on another source of Internet radio, in this case it's called Rock-it Radio. Shows get posted and cycle through about every two weeks. Check http://www.rockitradio.net and listen to a different show called "Rock,Bop, And Doo Wop, recorded just for the Rockit, with great doo wop and rock and roll, when it is posted. About a dozen different DJ's post their shows and you can hear some great programs. NEW! Interview with Vickie of Rickie and Vickie on Angletone records!Also: GROUP MEMBERS GONE MISSING. If you are looking for, or are being looked for, this is the start to a page to reunite people from the 50's and 60's musical groups. If you would like to know when a new page is added, email me and I will alert you when it happens. |

INTERVIEWS |
|
Color radio presents some interviews with the artists that made the really great records of the 1950's and 1960's. Many of these artists did not sell millions of records, and in some cases they just sold a few in a local market. The most important aspect is that we recognize them for their achievements of making at least one record, and for being around and contributing to the birth of rock and roll. Pictured to the left is an in-studio interview with Hank Ayala of the Matadors. These interviews listed below are also available on the artist web pages. |

There were so many great groups who recorded in the 1950's and the 1960's, and for me, so little time to try and document them all. One at a time, I continue to add new groups, whether they recorded one record or fifty. Although few of my pages are 100 per cent complete, you will get a great overview of most of these groups listed below. |

This is not a huge category for me, but the two examples listed below should be very informative for you. The Joe Houston page concentrates on his LP's and a few EP's that he made in the 1950's and the 1960's. I am surprised at just how many of the albums he made. The Rockin Rebels page has become a huge living document. Starting the The Russ Hallett Trio, and weaving through the maze of group associated with the Rebels, and of course the Rockin Rebels themselves. |

Here are some very deserving single artists that are fun to listen to and should be credited with their outstanding contributions to music. This list will continue to grow over time. Unfortunately there are so many artists that should be recognized and not enough time for this web site to do it all. Keep watching as more people continue to appear on the color radio web site. Watch for updates, and always feel free to Email me. I'm happy to help when I can. |
