Music
With East Side Slim
East Side Slim takes you cruising on many musical roads, with all leading back to the crossroad - the blues. Come on along for the ride on Rhythm Highways. You'll hear American music - music that swings, rolls and comes from the soul. Tune in to hear blues, R&B, gospel, swing, soul, rock 'n' roll, jazz and roadhouse, even the occasional honky tonk or western swing song. Rhythm Highways - it's an East Side groove.
Thanksgiving All-Gospel Soul for your Thanks-giving spectacular

| The Dynamic Soul Superiors Amazing Grace Follow Me Savoy Records 1978 A quartet backed by their own band, with lead singing from Fred Burns. I believe the band was from the Detroit, Michigan area, based upon the various addresses and info included on the back cover of the LP. In 1978 you could have written to the band's manager to book the band into your church!

| Prof. Alex Bradford He's A Wonder Feel Like Running For The Lord, Early Recordings 1950-1961 Gospel Friend 2021 This song was most likely recorded in NYC in 1952, and is listed as an Alex Bradford composition. Young Alex was a blues lover and he even considered a career as a blues singer before being swayed to walk the sacred path. But he never lost that bluesy swagger in his voice.
