It was Vinylthon at WXOX, which means there were DJs in the studio for over 100 hours straight of 24-hours-per-day all vinyl radio! That's nothing new for That Driving Beat, you weekly vinyl 1960s soul, R&B dance party! James finally has a copy of a long-time want by Little Willie John and a friend stops by to share a 45 containing a Nashville take on Motown that almost never got heard outside the recording studio!
