Hour 2 begins with Casey calling the Isleys "the only group on or off the chart that we can think of, besides the Miracles, who've charted in all 3 decades ('50s '60s '70s)". And then he mis-identifies their hit as "Meet that Lady", because Billboard had that misprint in their pages for several weeks before they corrected it.
heh, I missed his mistake. Also, that version is too short, but that's expected on AT40 w the longer hits.
(Inane aside: There was talk of "anthropomorphizing musicality" (btw, great phrase, Mike) with household pets in yesterday's 10at10. The discussion was in re: how I visualize my cat playing the Moog for ELP's
Lucky Man. Well, since the Isley's
Who's That Lady has some tough-ass synth blipping and bleeping, my cat jumped naturally onstage with the Bros and kicked out the jams. In my head, of course. )
Good funky stuff in this chart, tho, you are correct, but Curtis Mayfield's
Future Shock was rife with recycling and rehashing of Shaft. Yeah, it sounded great, but all the allusions to his previous song made me thing he sort of tossed this one off.
Carpenters: gf and I decided this is one of their weaker hits, sentimental references to those old "songs on the radio" were too trite.
