WXEL-90.7FM Brings Doo Wop Back To The Airwaves
Premieres November 11th, 2006
West Palm Beach, Florida – WXEL 90.7FM and PBS “Doo Wop” Guru TJ Lubinsky have teamed up to bring classic 1950s doo wop music back to the
radio airwaves beginning Saturday, November 11th from 6pm – 8pm on WXEL 90.7FM with “The Doo Wop Jukebox.”
Hosted by TJ Lubinsky, “The Doo Wop Jukebox” will feature weekly live caller requests, backstage in-depth artist profiles and exclusive interviews, rare concert performances and original hit recordings from the biggest and best loved music legends of the 1950s rock and pop era including Johnny Maestro and The Brooklyn
Bridge, The Duprees, Little Anthony and The Imperials, The Skyliners, The Flamingos, The Five Satins, The Penguins and hundreds more.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring the most loved songs of the 1950s vocal group era back to local oldies fans abandoned by commercial
radio just because they are over the age of 50”, exclaims TJ Lubinsky, the creator and executive producer of the PBS “My Music” and “American Soundtrack” series of doo wop specials on television, “for me this is a dream come true to share the original records, and stories of the original artists in a weekly forum for music lovers of all ages – by request and commercial free. WXEL is uniquely positioned to bring the musical heritage of our lifetimes to local airwaves, and to help preserve our memories and the artists’ legacies for history”.
Lubinsky has reunited, recorded and produced hundreds of doo wop groups
from the golden age of American rock and pop history. To date, TJ’s
television concerts seen on PBS member stations nationally have collectively
raised more than $250 Million Dollars in viewer contributions for public television
since 1995, when he first began producing local doo wop specials on WXEL TV-42.
Doo Wop singer Johnny Maestro of The Brooklyn Bridge and The Crests says, “TJ playing doo wop on the radio is the best that could happen to South Florida public radio and the internet”.
“We at WXEL are thrilled to be able to give this wonderful music a weekly home. This show nice rounds out radio program schedule and allows us to reach out an underserved part of our audience.” said WXEL-TV President and CEO Jerry Carr.
“WXEL has given us the opportunity to save the music and expose new fans
to the greatest songs of our lifetime” says Lubinsky, “Rock and Roll is here
to stay thanks to public radio and WXEL.”
