S4E6 with Marshall Chess
Description
This weeks episode contains one of my favourite interviews ever. Marshall Chess was literally born and raised in the record industry, his childhood was spent helping out his Dad in Chess Studios as they recorded the likes of Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Etta James, Chuck Berry, Little Richard ... I could go on. The amazing thing is thats only the start of his amazing career, Marshall went on to start the Cadet label, signing Minnie Ripperton & rotary Connection amongst others before hooking up with Mick and Kieth to create Rolling Stones Records, then working with Sugarhill Records at the birth of Hip Hop and so much more. At 81 he is sharp as a tack and the stories simply poor out of him. This was supposed to be a 10 minute feature but turned into the main event, if you have any interest in R&B, the Blues, Rock n Roll and Hip-Hop you are in for a treat! Not only that but we talk to one of the worlds leading experts on Gospel Music DJ Greg Belson from his LA home. Before all that Deb returns to the eternal question of filing and Eamon excitedly tells all about the new radio station Love Will Save The Day FM. Even if you dont know these names you will love this episode I am sure.
