 I'm Stephen Cook. Despite his mid-20th century fame and subsequent influence on American popular music, Louis Jordan of Brinkley isn't much of a household name. Those who do know his music mostly know it by Jordan's party songs like Saturday Night Fish Fry. But Jordan was also a talented instrumentalist and vocalist. We feature the ballads of Louis Jordan, including some duets he recorded with Ella Fitzgerald on this week's Arkham Songs. Friday at 6.50 a.m. and 6.20 p.m. right here on 89.1 KUAR.
