Next week marks the birth-anniversaries of three legends: Fats Domino, Johnny Cash, and George Harrison. Two were pioneers of rock’n’roll, building on their R&B and country roots … and George, who was so much more than ‘the quiet Beatle’ – with his legacy as guitarist and song-writer.

I’m Gene Stevens with a triple birthday salute to Fats, Johnny and George – along with ‘the Fabulous Fifties – and Beyond’ – on the next Vintage Favourites this Sunday at 2 – from Zoomer Radio.
