The Legends of the Rocking Dutchman - episode 164

Legends Mix

One of today's mixed set of tunes is a woman, who unvoluntarily became one of the key persons of the Paramount record company. In this show I'll tell you how come that this pianist and secretary had to find out, that the whole Race music department got loaded on her shoulders.

Also in this show some credits for Jimmy Ricks, who set the standard for a whole generation of bass singers, how Roy Brown lost his key to success and the follow-up song of Sam Theard's standard You Rascal You.
