The "Juke In The Back" is proud to feature The Channels, one of New York City's finest and most influential vocal groups of the mid-1950s.
At only 15 years, Earl Lewis fronted the group who recorded one of Doo Wop's most classic tunes, the self-penned, "The Closer You Are" for Bobby Robinson's Whirlin' Disc label out of Harlem. Earl Lewis joins Matt The Cat to tell his story in his own words.

Harry Vann began playing piano in Beulah's Church in Charleston, WV around the age of 10, but thanks to hearing Jay McShann records on the radio, he was bitten by the blues bug while in his teens. After settling in Columbus, Ohio in the late-1940s, Vann was making a name for himself playing in the local clubs. He changed his name to Van Walls, taking Walls as his surname from his step-father.

He was a master at making his recordings sound rough, but there was also a lot of blues sophistication buried under the simplicity.
