Highlights this week include a soul icon singing a country song, a country guitarist and a pop singer that a lot of people thought were black (pictures weren't too common back then), a far-out jazz band play some do-wop, a crazy do-wop version of Unchained Melody and finally a jazz guitar genius playing rock & roll. How could you not listen to a show like that? Backbeat is also available in a 56-minute version with breaks. I am happy to provide custom station IDs, promos and liners.
