Federal Records: Run by white men who understood black music, featuring James Brown, Ike Turner, Freddie King, Billy Ward and His Dominoes and the very early days of the Platters.

In this show, notice I play the original Only You by the Platters, but it isn't the one we've known all along. The one you know well was released shortly afterwards on another label - Mercury if my memory doesn't fade. People like the Mercury version instead, but I like both.
