Etta James was inducted in the 'Rock n Roll Hall of Fame' in 1993. Afterwards she pronounced, "They got this shit backwards, it should be the 'R&B Hall of Fame,' where Blacks decide which white rockers deserve to get in."

Great show as usual! It was funny to hear your surprise that Caprice Records being a government agency. Public broadcasters have played a big role in promoting music in Europe in the 60s and 70s.

Observations of Deviance host David Mittlemanβs interview with Tomeka Reid is the centerpiece of a three-hour exploration of her astounding oeuvre.

I am going to listen to this one later today, but all your interviews are great because you are, first of all, a fan, not just an interviewer.
Some of them are even better depending on the mood (e.g. Pat Thomas) or the quantity of information (like with Kahil El'Zabar).
