Since 2004 Plastic Crimewave (aka Steve Krakow) has used the Secret History of Chicago Music to shine a light on worthy artists with Chicago ties who ve been forgotten, underrated, or never noticed in the first place.
As much as people love the famous songs of so-called one-hit wonders, they don t get much respect. Legit soul and R&B hits such as Jean Knight s Mr. Big Stuff or the Capitols Cool Jerk often get lumped in with novelty numbers (Carl Douglas s Kung Fu Fighting, Vicki Lawrence s version of The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia ) on cheesy nostalgia-bait compilations.
