Gerry Orris, aka "Daddy Cool", was not a rebellious person but was hooked by the musical revolution called rock 'n' roll. With musical forms merging in the 50's to create a new and enduring sound, Gerry started a lifelong endeavor of collecting and listening to this music. It is as fresh today as it was back then – innocent, youthful, exuberant and romantic. His program, "Remember Then", celebrates the sounds of the 50's and 60's. Listen to and enjoy the elegant yet simplistic rhythms and lyrics whether you want to capture an old memory, create a new one, or just sing along and dance until your feet hurt. In the last hour of the program, the "Backseat Sessions", Gerry brings into the forefront music that took a backseat to other forms of music at that time – doo wop with its incredible melodies and even more staggering vocal harmonies. In this segment, Gerry digs deep into his extensive collection to share with you the great hits and lost treasures of the era. Your requests, dedications and comments are always welcome. |
