Featured Artist: The Dixie Cups
The Dixie Cups brought New Orleans rhythm and energy to mainstream pop. Their 1964 hit Chapel of Love reached No. 1, helping define the girl-group era, while their success opened doors for Southern female vocal groups and left a lasting influence on pop and R&B music. Hear the story of The Dixie Cups on this week’s episode of The Buffet (click image below to listen).
As I do almost every day of every weekend, I am listening to BRH with pleasure. Today there is additional joy as the program on now, From the Sunny Side, is a rebroadcast of the radio program Your Hit Parade from December 18, 1943, the exact day my parents, Penny and Gary Taylor, got married in the Panama Canal Zone. They were happily married for 58 years, produced five children, 20 grandchildren, and who knows how many great grandchildren, including at least 7 graduates of Baton Rouge High. I expect that due to the occasion and the location that day they were probably not listening to Your Hit Parade. I remember watching and listening to the show on TV in my youth. Thanks for the happy memories!
What a wonderful comment, Dianne! Glad we could provide happy, musical memories. Thanks for your longtime support!
Rob Payer
Love your radio station! Rob Payer’s Saturday morning show is the absolute best radio show on air. But this morning’s Memorial Day Show is a very special treat! The music is great and listening to previous DJ’s reminisce is is awesome! Thank you!
That is very kind, Sharon! Thank you so much for listening!
peace play Cinnamon by Tommy Roe on 60s Reunion! oops I mean please hahaha
it played! VERY GROOVY! I’ll toss some cash in the hat next it passes. oh wait, I can give online RIGHT NOW!
I happened to catch KBRH near Austin, TX the past couple of nights.I didn’t know about the station but found it while trying out a new antenna. It was mostly a weak signal, but it would come and go every few minutes to maybe 10 minutes between 9 and midnight. Koko Taylor is loud and clear right now. I love the blues music! I wish there were more stations like this. There’s good music on the radio here in Austin, but not so much elsewhere. I’ll listen online, but I’m a radio operator, so of course I have to try the DX signal first.
2/27/26: Pacific Northwest stands up! Paul Revere Ride Your Pony and The Kingsmen Louie, Louie. Both groups recorded Louie Louie in the same studio one day apart. Out here the Paul Revere version was considered better: “Grab your woman, it’s Louie Louie time!” The two main rock stations would only play or the other and would monitor when one was on the opposing station so they could blast their version on top of it…. sometimes playing them numerous times in a row. I was lucky enough to dance to both and Paul Revere’s version would turn into an extended groove that would wear out The Dead, lol.
Love you Leah Smith you Mo Better!
Rob, did you ever do a show that highlighted songs on the Mississippi River?
I’ve done a show on “river” songs, but not specifically on the Mississippi river. Great idea! I’ll work something up for January. Thanks for listening, Greg!
Fantastic. Love your station. Listening in Bunbury Western Australia 🇦🇺 ♥️
