I didn't start getting into record buying until 1972 and did not know a whole lot of the acts prior to then. Yet as I listened to the various radio stations, I learned of songs, performers in of the previous 60 years. Most 45s I bought were released years earlier. Now there are still instrumentals being played, yet some are not identified by the stations anymore.
I had four 45s that Holt played on and only found one Ramsey Lewis Trio album: "The 'In' Crowd".
I learned more about Holt in the obituary than I ever knew before.
