Thanksgiving Blog-Only Playlist: 11/24/2011

Your Rock'n'Roll school is not in session this week, but you can still earn some extra credit by completing the assignment below, a blog-only episode of Rock Show that you play right here in your browser window. There's a great collection of music, starting with some classic Rock'n'Roll gold with Little Richard, then meandering over into some love and heartbreak including girl groups The Chantels and The Shirelles. The Moody Blues will finish off the block of love and heartbreak with "Go Now" from 1965. Then we'll pick up the pace with some upbeat tunes, starting with Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and ending up in a funk twofer featuring Godfather of Soul James Brown and an early release by Funk/Soul/R&B legend Prince. If you're listening in America, enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner however you choose the celebrate! Elsewhere in the world: Have a great day and we'll see you back in The Lab @ KRUI next week!
