Star Time #223: Dream Don't Let Me Down
This episode is a blend of artists who've had surprisingly heavy airplay on Star Time (Leon Haywood, Ruby Andrews, Lorraine Ellison), artists you would expect to get heavy airplay and have (Joe Tex, William Bell, Carla Thomas), artists I wish I would play more heavily on the show than I do (Joe Bataan, Harold Alexander, Z.Z. Hill), and artists I didn't know about until last week (Preston Love, Vigon, the Appreciations). Somehow they all work together 'cause that's America, dammit.
