about

Join us for another installment of “hits that missed,” as we count our way down through some of the biggest recordings of the 1940s. We’ll hear music from Roy Milton, Charles Brown, Ivory Joe Hunter, and Louis Jordan, plus many other R&B classics that never quite made it to number one.

Pictured: During the 1940s, Louis Jordan was king of the charts, racking up a string of almost 40 consecutive top ten R&B hits between 1942 and 1948.
