"Dedicated: A Salute to the 5 Royales" by Steve Cropper released this day in 2011.
Steve Cropper has said in numerous interviews that his main influence as a guitarist was Lowman Pauling, chief songwriter, arranger, and axeman of North Carolina's 5 Royales, a '50s-era group that wedded doo wop, jump blues, gospel, and jazz in an R&B style that scored them numerous hits throughout the 1950s.

In the Midnight Hour

On this day in 2006 the music world lost legendary vocalist Wilson Pickett. Let’s remember the power and soul of his voice with this classic song.
“I’m gonna wait 'til the stars come out
And see the sweet look in your eyes
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine”
