1948: Jukebox Rhythm Review, Pt. 1

The jukebox takes center stages as we travel back 70 years to dig on the hep sounds of 1948. This week, in part 1 of 2, the “Juke In The Back” features the biggest jukebox hits of the first half of 1948. You’ll jump to records by Wynonie Harris, Bull Moose Jackson, Nellie Lutcher, Camille Howard, Sonny Thompson and many more. Dig on the unique sound of the “Chee Chee Girl” as well as Nat “King” Cole’s big crossover hit that actually did better on the Pop than R&B lists. We’ve got souring instrumentals, jump blues, crooners and vocal groups, so grab a fist full of nickels and get ready to celebrate part 1 of 1948 on this week’s “Juke In The Back” with Matt The Cat.
