Lost Classics #3 (Sunny Joe/Frankie Crocker Edition)

This Lost Classics episode features songs from white artists that crossed over to black radio and clubs, or songs that black folks gigged to in the privacy of their own home. I know I did! This is dedicated to Sunny Joe White (WILD-AM & Kiss 108 Boston) and Frankie Crocker (WBLS New York). Rest in peace to both. They were the groundbreakers in the late 70s-early 80s who expanded what could be played on black radio, and helped give birth to the term "urban contemporary."

Let me know what songs you jammed to back in the day! Get your Carlton on!
