This week, the "Juke In The Back" looks at how one of R&B's greatest voices, LaVern Baker, got her start. It's part one of a two-part feature on the early career of LaVern Baker. In part one, we'll dig on Baker's first recordings from 1949-1954. Matt the Cat plays the American soul that came before rock 'n' roll on the Juke In The Back.
