Juke Joint - September 1, 2024

This week on “The Juke Joint” broadcast Robert Barclay features some doo-wop, blues and R&B tunes by Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Slim Gaillard, Cab Calloway, Slim Harpo, Blind Blake, Larry Williams, Gene Vincent, Otis Redding, Don & Dewey and Little Anthony & the Imperials.

Robert Barclay launched "The Juke Joint" broadcast on WCMU in April 1985. It has been a Sunday night fixture from 8:00-11:00 pm ever since. A devoted listener dubbed him the "Duke of Juke." He includes nearly a century's worth of blues history on his program including traditional and contemporary blues along with boogie woogie, soul music, rhythm & blues, zydeco and gospel music.
