One of Rhythm & Blues' greatest innovators was also one of its most notorious personalities. He was born in the heart of the Mississippi Delta and his band, The Kings Of Rhythm, recorded what some would come to name as the "first Rock n' Roll Record" with "Rocket 88" in 1951. Matt The Cat sorts through the many record labels and incarnations of The Kings Of Rhythm, as we honor one of music's most tragic but important figures. Produced for Pacifica Radio in Salem, MA.
