And Casey Kasem's favorite interview, it seems from what he said about Monti Rock on last week's kountdown.

For all his lack of musical talent, Miss Monti Rock III had quite the gift of gab. I mean. how else does a hairdresser end up a semi-regular guest on the Merv Griffin Show? (I always suspected that he and Merv met in a back-room bar, but of course Merv couldn't say THAT on TV, so he introduced him as "my mother's hairdresser" or something.)  I will never forget seeing him on Merv in 1970 or thereabouts, doing The. Worst. Version. EVAH. of Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne". OMFG it was horrendous.  When Disc-O-Texx turned out to be him, it made perfect sense. I'll bet his chiffon is still wet.

And BTW, he's still alive and well and would like to sing at your wedding (or anybody's):

Joe Tex (no relation to Disco Texx) discovers that it takes two hands to handle a whopper. Joe, you weren't exactly svelte yerself.

Whew!  KFRC takes a break from "History of Rock" to flash back to Feb. 13, 1971's Kasey Kountdown.

Falling off the chart this week:
"Games" (shoot, I would've enjoyed hearing this)
"Pay to the Piper"
"For the Good Times"
"Stoned Love"
"Black Magic Woman"

In Holding at 40 and new to me: Joe Simon, "Your Time to Cry."  Tasteful strings-soaked sappy sadness.

At 36 and also new to my ears: Johnnie Taylor's "Jody's Got Your Girl and Gone."  The reissue of Millie Jackson's Caught Up album had in its liner notes an interesting digression on the history of the "Jody" character in cheating songs of the period (indeed, in her album, she addresses her rival as "Mrs. Jody").

And where else on radio will you EVER hear Wilson Pickett ("Don't Let the Green Grass Fool Ya") followed by Led Zeppelin ("Immigrant Song")?

And now - TANC, I just listened to this yesterday while compiling a "Years of Our Lives" mix - Liz Damon's Orient Express, "1900 Yesterday."  Gorgeous song, dippy lyrics.

Juuuudge!  Heah comes AAAAmos!  Jerry Reed up to 23 with "Amos Moses," in what so far has been a soul/funk-heavy set.

Biggest OMGWTF of the set: At 21, Henry Mancini, "Theme From Love Story," which I have indeed heard before though I never knew what it was.  His last Top 40 hit would eventually peak at 13.

Heh, within 15 minutes of posting this, I heard Mancini, Perry Como, and Judy Collins' "Amazing Grace."

And now the fabulous "Stoney End," Barbra doing Nyro better than Nyro did Nyro (then again, I think just about anyone did Nyro better than Nyro).
