    The Labor Day Weekend edition of ROOTS ROCK RADIO is archived at the
    link below until September 15th. Here's the playlist:

    1. JUKE, Little Walter

    Here's an unreleased version from 1958 by---of all people---Billy Vaughn
    & His Orchestra!!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MDQvahPFhU

    5. BABY, LET’S PLAY HOUSE, Elvis Presley

    My pick as his best record evah---and the blueprint for tons of white
    rock 'n' roll and rockabilly records that followed

    12. TO BE LOVED (Forever), The Pentagons

    A big vocal group favorite of mine that doesn't seem to get much mention
    on here. Originally on Fleet International in 1960 then reissued in the charting version on Donna.

    It's a solid 8 on my 1960 list

    14. SEPTEMBER IN THE RAIN, The Royal Jokers

    Sorry but for me this great song belongs lock stock and teardrops to Ms
    Dinah Washington

    16. THE FOOL, Sanford Clark

    This side always seemed a little dull to me--always preferred the
    "Lonesome For A Letter" flip

    17. HEARTS OF STONE, The Jewels

    The orignal and IMO the best version of this much covered hit

    20. BOTTLE TO THE BABY, Charlie Feathers

    This is how it started out in January 1956 at the Sun Studio in Memphis...........

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DklONMNfrBw

    With Jerry Huffman (gtr) Jody Chastain (bs) Johnny Bernero (dms)

    31. MEAN WOMAN BLUES, Roy Orbison

    After the past week or so is there anything NEW to say about "Mean Woman Blues"? :)

    33. READY TEDDY, Little Richard

    B/w "Rip It Up" this was Richard's FIRST ever single to get release on
    these shores over here

    37. LONELY BLUE BOY, Conway Twitty

    Originally recorded by Elvis as "Danny" for his movie "King Creole" but
    dropped from the movie

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdejAilaxaM

    40. ROCK & ROLL RUBY, Warren Smith

    Still have a fond memory of seeing Johnny Cash in concert here in London
    one time when he took a song request or two---and bellowing out to him
    "Rock 'N' Roll Ruby" (that he penned of course)----and being amazed when
    he did a pretty good impromptu version

    43. WIPE OUT, The Surfaris

    Possibly the most famous opening of any record ever

    44. (I Wanna) LOVE MY LIFE AWAY, Gene Pitney

    I promise I shan't mention again about him being my most famous
    customer--but I will mention this being his best ever record IMO

    47. COME SOFTLY TO ME, The Fleetwoods

    Dopey pop record but one I always kinda liked. Think it was those
    ethereal girlie backing vocals
