"Chicken Noodle Soup" on YouTube
Blues Cruise
Over a thirty year career, blues guitarist Robert Cray has won five Grammys, sold millions of albums and is currently opening for Eric Clapton. Today, Cray shares music from "Live From Across the Pond," his latest album recorded at London's Royal Albert Hall earlier this year. Also: Carmen Consoli, Sicilian-born singer-songwriter whose music blends indie-rock, bossa nova, jazz and blues influences, performs live in the studio. And finally: The "Chicken Noodle Soup" song and dance craze started at parties in Harlem and has made a huge impact on YouTube. Now, both the DJ and the artist behind the phenomenon have inked record deals with Universal Music. Is a backlash far behind?
