Here's a good one, a Johnny Otis radio show from November 1970, playing Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Ray Charles, Bo Carter, Ike and Tina Turner, the Penguins and the Dubs, along with commercials and chit chat with guests Shuggie Otis, Frank Zappa, and Ray Agee. It's a good piece of period pie.
Otis was a band leader, MC of revue shows, talent scout, songwriter, singer, musician, radio DJ, TV show host, label owner and one of the most prominent West Coast rhythm and blues cheerleaders, in addition to it's permutations, rock 'n' roll, vocal groups, blues, and later funky soul. He discovered Big Mama Thornton, Hank Ballard, Jackie Wilson, Etta H and Little Willie John. An absolute L.A. icon.
