This week's Backbeat features some rockin' gospel, Fats Waller explaining how culture fads spread, and earlier versions of a couple of songs Elvis made famous. We also hear some bluegrass from a group that were featured on the old Andy Griffith TV Show (pictured) and a hit from a former Toronto telephone operator.
