Paul Gayten
Paul Gayten is one of the unsung heroes of rhythm & blues and one of the many architects of rock n' roll. This week, Matt The Cat spotlights Gayten's great contributions to music on the "Juke In The Back." Paul Gayten scored the first New Orleans' hit of the post World War II R&B era with "True (You Don't Love Me)" in 1947, thus kicking off a legacy of rhythm hit-making and influence from the Crescent City. His work with vocalists Annie Laurie and Chubby "Hip Shakin'" Newsome is legendary. As a songwriter, producer and talent scout for Chess Records, Gayten discovered and signed Clarence Henry and Bobby Charles and worked with Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. Gayten made great contributions to R&B and Rock n' Roll, but gets very little recognition these days. Matt The Cat and the "Juke In The Back" are out to change that with this week's heartfelt dedication to the late, great Paul Gayten.
