On March 11, 1972 The Number One Record On The R&B Charts was Talking Loud and Saying Nothing by James Brown--What else was happenin';? CHECK IT OUT!!!


A whole lotta R&B was in the public eye in 1972. There was a band out of Ann Arbor, Michigan called RADIO KING AND HIS COURT OF RHYTHM that put this stuff out there in the trenches at the bars—MOSTLY AT THE (INFAMOUS) ODYSSEY LOUNGE…
 
They didn’t do every tune in this blog, but they did a LOT of ‘em. ENJOY what we were into in 1972…
