Classic 45s Jukebox

The Classic 45s Jukebox gives you Dashboard access to the Classic 45s podcast of great music from the archives of rock'n'roll and soul history. The podcast is updated every time the online jukebox at Classic 45s.com gets updated.

The musical snippets sent out in this podcast represent the very best in all Rock'n'Roll and Soul genres, hopefully introducing listeners to nuggets they may not have heard before. Each description includes chart, songwriter, label, and other descriptive information, along with an image of the 45 record label.
