Fats Domino, Ska Music, & The Monkees

As a top recording artist, Fats Domino was the target of many songwriters, including Tommy Boyce. In late 1959, Domino recorded a track by Boyce, Be My Guest.

Known for its off-the-beat rhythm, Be My Guest is considered to be a foundational and influential song in SKA music. It was also Boyce's first chart hit.

Tommy Boyce would later partner with Bobby Hart and write hit songs such as Theme to The Monkees TV show, Last Train to Clarksville, I'm Not Your Stepping Stone, Valleri, and Gonna Buy Me a Dog. The songwriting duo appeared on TV, including Bewitched, The Flying Nun, and I Dream of Jeannie.

Tuned in Sunday to hear our Spotlight Show on Fats Domino and the multicultural music of New Orleans.

Remembering Michael Bloomfield (July 28, 1943 – February 15, 1981), an amazing blues guitarist. He played a prominent guitar on 1965's Highway 61 Revisited and performed with Dylan at the famous/infamous Newport Folk Festival that same year.
