In hour 1, we pay tribute to the late, great Big Chief Bo Dollis, who passed on January 20, 2015. We'll also hear a set of Motor City tunes, featuring sisters Erma and Aretha Franklin. In hour 2, we'll continue with the funk, soul, and jazz, including the delightfully surreal and occasionally incomprehensible Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
