Louis Armstrong Records West End Blues, Elvis Unknowingly Takes a Final Bow: Music History In Depth Podcast June 26 - July 2
On this week's show, a cover version of a song becomes the definitive song of an entire genre while also proving that sometimes, the student can become better than the teacher.
