Gut-punching, heart-stopping, kidney-shriveling R&B from 1961 to 1971 is on the menu this week. We have Lotharios in snakeskin and insects in heat. We have oil speculators and image consultants. We have frantic escapes and electronic magnetism. And we have a cautionary tale about why kicking cats is a futile exercise. Listen to this show, or else you'll only learn about these subjects from the kids in school. Or even worse, your parents.
