Episode Notes

This week, the  Stew has two donor hours.

The first hour celebrates the birth of Doc Pomus, one of the all-time great songwriters who helped shape popular music.

He wrote hits for The Drifters, Ray Charles, Elvis and many more.

We start with Lonely Ave (Ray Charles), Young Boy Blues (Robert Plant and The  Honey Drippers), A Mess of blues (Elvis), and a song Doc  Pomus wrote to his bride  at their  wedding reception, and  because he was in a wheelchair,  due to polio,  he wrote   Save the Last Dance for me (The Drifters)

Classics from Rickie Lee Jones and Otis Redding. New music from Joe Bonamassa, Second-Hand Dream Car./

Hour Two donor asked for “kick-ass” Canadian female singers from the mid-80s to mid-90’s.

We start with Heart Live at Kennedy Centre Honours and Stairway to Heaven for honorees Led Zeppelin.
