Big Bob's "Memory Lane" Show

"Abie's Doo Wop Taxi" welcomes Big Bob, a dedicated DJ with charisma and humor. Bob is a native of Detroit, Motown , Michigan. Bob's Memory Lane show features "Old Time Rock & Roll" along with charted hits from the 50's 60's and 70's, including many one hit wonders and covers. Bob's database contains charted tunes from a variety of popular groups.

Bob says, "We just don't play songs, we play memories. Before we had cell phones, before there were CD-ROMS, before microwave ovens dictated what we ate, and before SUV's emptied our wallets, wasn't life much simpler? If you remember the Motown Sound, Drive-in Movies, and Cruising your Main Street, then sit back, listen, enjoy, and reminisce with the tunes that will never die!"

DooWop Lovers, This is a Must:

"Life Could Be A Dream: The Doo-Wop Sound" - the definitive look at the music and performers of the Doo-Wop Era!

Doo-Wop is a unique form of harmony singing which ultimately swept the world and transformed the face of popular music. It's a simple style of singing, born of the urban streets, but in its inherent simplicity is a powerful attraction and a fascinating tale of passionate young love, heartache, triumph, and some of the sweetest lyrics and sounds ever recorded. It's a story that has never been told. This is that story.
