Featured Artist: The Marvelettes
The Marvelettes were Motown’s first major hitmakers, breaking barriers for Black female groups in pop music. Their 1961 smash “Please Mr. Postman” became Motown’s first No. 1 hit, helping launch the label’s national success and influencing generations of girl groups, soul singers, and pop artists. Hear the story of The Marvelettes on this week’s episode of The Buffet. (Click image below to hear)

I happened to catch KBRH near Austin, TX the past couple of nights.I didn’t know about the station but found it while trying out a new antenna. It was mostly a weak signal, but it would come and go every few minutes to maybe 10 minutes between 9 and midnight. Koko Taylor is loud and clear right now. I love the blues music! I wish there were more stations like this. There’s good music on the radio here in Austin, but not so much elsewhere. I’ll listen online, but I’m a radio operator, so of course I have to try the DX signal first.
2/27/26: Pacific Northwest stands up! Paul Revere Ride Your Pony and The Kingsmen Louie, Louie. Both groups recorded Louie Louie in the same studio one day apart. Out here the Paul Revere version was considered better: “Grab your woman, it’s Louie Louie time!” The two main rock stations would only play or the other and would monitor when one was on the opposing station so they could blast their version on top of it…. sometimes playing them numerous times in a row. I was lucky enough to dance to both and Paul Revere’s version would turn into an extended groove that would wear out The Dead, lol.
Love you Leah Smith you Mo Better!
Rob, did you ever do a show that highlighted songs on the Mississippi River?
I’ve done a show on “river” songs, but not specifically on the Mississippi river. Great idea! I’ll work something up for January. Thanks for listening, Greg!
Fantastic. Love your station. Listening in Bunbury Western Australia 🇦🇺 ♥️
