I've got some unusual records cued up for Backbeat this week, as well as the usual mix of gospel, blues, country jazz and rock 'n' roll. We'll have a black vocal group backed up by a white clarinet player, one of Hoagy Carmichael's weirder songs, a novelty number about playing piano and a lively number by the Todd Rhodes Orch., a band whose story line stretches from 1930s jazz to 1950s rock 'n' roll to 1960s Motown
