Ordinary Joes
‘m your Uncle Marty, this is chapter 478 of The 3D RadioActivity, with an adventure we’re going to call “ORDINARY JOES” on Steve C’s recommendation for some.

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Story Untold” by The Nutmegs
They took their name from Connecticut, “The Nutmeg State,” where they hailed from and cut their teeth on the very same street corners that also produced The Five Satins. Like so many of the Doo Wop groups of the 1950s, The Nutmegs had an ever-changing lineup centered on a lead vocalist, and in their case […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Been So Long” by The Pastels
Over the last few days, I rediscovered the first of the three Doo Wop box sets released by Rhino Records between 1993 and 2000. That’s over 300 Doo Wop recordings – most of them classics…some not – spanning 12 CDs. The first box is by far the best because it has all the classics that […]

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Think” by The 5 Royales
If ever a group deserved to be in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall Of Fame, it should be The 5 Royales. Not only were they a pioneering R’n’B and Doo Wop vocal group, but they had one of the greatest songwriters of the era in Lowman “Pete” Pauling as a member. Pauling wrote most of […]
