from Rapidly Rotating Records · host Glenn Robison
Welcome to Glenn Robison’s Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and ’30s. On this evening’s show we’ll have breakfast, strike it rich, listen to this past week in recording history, and have some songs for the upcoming holiday. Enjoy the show! Here’s the complete playlist: Segment 1: BreakfastWe’re commemorating the radio show “The Breakfast Club” today with some rapidly rotating records about breakfast. On June 23 in 1933, Don McNeill took over a morning radio program called “The Pepper Pot” and renamed it “The Breakfast Club”. When he started, he was earning $50 a week, but by 1950, the show was so popular, his contract was for $100,000 a year. “The Breakfast Club” was broadcast live from WLS and the Blue Network for 15 years and for its last 20 years from various Chicago hotels over the ABC network. The Breakfast Club’s last show was December 27, 1968 and Don McNeill died on May 7, 1996. Across The Breakfast Table Looking at you – Roof garden Orch (Fred Rich) What Would’ja Like For Breakfast? – Nat Star Band (as Bernie Blake) Breakfast In Harlem – Buck & Bubbles Cooking Breakfast For The One I Love – Roger Wolfe Kahn and His Orchestra (Instrumental Issue Brazil) Segment 2: Rich PeopleJune 29, 1947, the game show “Strike It Rich” debuted on CBS radio. Contestants in need of money for medical treatments or other hardships would come on the show and tell their story. If they could answer some relatively easy questions, they could win money, but if they didn’t win, they could turn to “the Heartline” a large red heart set up on the stage. It would light up if a home viewer or sponsor called in to offer gifts or money to the contestant.
