This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio: A fully fab encore presentation of DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT

For this year's presentation of DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT, Dana wanted to re-visit his simply outstanding (and fully Fab!) 2022 edition, an extravaganza loaded with soul, jazz, and R & B renditions of songs associated with the Beatles. Worthy goal! You can likewise revisit the original playlist post here.

The Beatles wanted to be a soul group. Here's evidence of that connection, including some R & B songs that inspired the Beatles, and various black artists returning the favor. This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio is proud to present an encore presentation of a very special DANA'S FUNKY SOUL PIT.

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl airs Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse at SPARK! WSPJ 103.3 and 93.7 FM, streaming at SPARK stream, and on the Radio Garden app as WESTCOTT RADIO

You can read all about this show's long and weird history here: Boppin' The Whole Friggin' Planet (The History Of THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO). You can follow Carl's daily blog at Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do).

TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS are always welcome.
