Etta James Interview

Click on the record >>> to listen to a 47 minute interview with music featuring singer Etta James, portrayed by Beyonce in the film Cadillac Records.  The interview originally aired on July 1, 1995.



Years ago, most DJ-oriented radio stations published weekly hit sheets, or surveys, that you could pick up at a local music shop.  Printed under the stations' logos were the lists of the week's top hits.  The most interesting of these surveys are the ones with the longest list of records.  Some have as many as a hundred or more, giving you an idea of just how much music you could hear on commercial radio then.  We've collected hundreds of these survey sheets from soul and pop stations all over the country, dating from the late 50s through the 80s.  Some of these rare items are now available for viewing.   (If you have any lying around that you'd like to share with us, let us know.)

FELIX'S VIDEO OF THE WEEK


Here are the roots of soul.  This incredible performance is one of few caught on film by the Original Five Blind Boys of Alabama, featuring Clarence Fountain.  Unlike innumerable gospel singers who recorded R&B (Sam Cooke, Lou Rawls, Laura Lee, Johnnie Taylor, Aretha Franklin, to name a few), Fountain and his group never "crossed over."
