The Legends of the Rocking Dutchman - episode 222
Legends Mix
Twenty-five years of Rhythm & Blues today, as I start in 1930 with a racially integrated goodie of Duke Ellington and I end in '55 with a great laid-back shuffler. In between there's a lot to enjoy - the wonderful voice of Ella Johnson, hot jazz from Birminghan, AL and Mr. Central Avenue.
And also - what would happen if the stars from Harlem's music scene would be on the silver screen - or as Cleo Brown sang it - when Hollywood goes black and tan. Enjoy!
