Doo Wop Singers Fight Back Against Impostors
The doo wop era of the 1950s and '60s gave us so many memorable songs and famous groups. Like "Charlie Brown" and "Yakety Yak" by the Coasters, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and "The Great Pretender" by the Platters, and "Under the Boardwalk" and "On Broadway" by the Drifters.
"20/20" attended an outdoor concert in New York City a few months ago by the Elsbeary Hobbs Drifters. They sang the Drifters' hits, but the singers… Continue

She was born Doris Higginson in The Bronx, the daughter of a Barbadian Pentecostal minister. Her parents disapproved of "subversive" forms of music like rhythm & blues, so she cut her teeth singing in her father's choir. She was working as an usherette at the Apollo where… Continue

I Remember Richard Pegue
I'm still hurting over losing one of my all-time favorite DJ's,
Richard Pegue (WVON and WGCI).
Next to Herb Kent, he 'was' radio for me in the 60's and 70's
...and he was a straight Dusties King, like Kent.
In fact, he is the originator
along with "Herbie Baby" of the term "Dusties".
The "Dubber Ruckie" as he called… Continue

I Remember Riverview-Part 2
Dena, Babyface, and Me In front of Jackson Park Day Camp-1960
"When I was 9... Me, Dena, and Babyface (Momma's friend Frank's neice who was about 14) went to Riverview and got lost on our journey home. We walked from Chicago's far northwest side all the way to the far southside. Leaving the amusement park at around 3pm that afternoon, it seemed like we walked across the world from my young perspective. It was divine providence, I…

Ripple
Funk-inspired rock (or maybe that's the other way around) out of Michigan. Ripple rips some classics here, including the soulful "I Don't Know What It Is, But It Sure Is Funky" that many will recognize for it's "oh la, oh la, eh" vocal interplay at the intro. "Get Off" kicks the tempo into a higher gear with a heated instrumental that's a… Continue

Arrow Brown...The Godfather Of King Drive
Arrow Brown wanted badly to be a player--he wore a black hat, packed heat even in church, and exploited a houseful of wives and concubines to finance a record label. But his tiny empire wouldn't last.
Author: Bob Mehr Date: April 22, 2005
It looked as if a tornado had passed through the house, picked up the remnants of Arrow Brown's strange, sordid life, and dumped them in the alley.
September 1990: Brown had… Continue
