Legends Mix

So when your last name is Gonzales and that doesn't sound 'Black' enough for Rhythm & Blues, what do you do? You change it, like into Bobby Prince.

And when you need a room in a good hotel, and you're a Black man named Lee Brown and they don't rent rooms to African-Americans (like in the forties)? Well you change your name into Ricardo Gonzales and try to pass for a Mexican.

Some silly stories come by in this show. Glad there's good music to enjoy.
