Here’s what I originally said about this show when it ran:
“I’m pleased to announce that this week's Bottomless Pit will be another "All 45 RPM Edition" of the program! Audiophiles, you've been warned…
And the show includes an at-length tribute to the great multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, record producer, and entrepreneur Sylvia Robinson. She left her mark on Popular Culture in so many ways; I really don't know who to compare her to…
All in all, we'll hear a bunch of great 45s from my personal record collection by artistes like The Moments, Ike and Tina Turner, The Flamin' Groovies, The Byrds, Jan and Dean, The Voxpoppers, Mickey and Sylvia, and many more..
That's the Bottomless Pit, Saturdays at 10 PM EDT, on WFUV (wfuv.org)…”
For her last hurrah in the music business she established Sugarhill Records and revolutionized Popular Music with masterpieces like “The Message”, and “Rapper’s Delight”. Sylvia Robinson should be on a postage stamp!
