Judge unearths Gladys & the Pips' version of Bill Withers' "Who is (S)he and What is (S)he to You?" -- NTM and as wonderful as you'd expect it to be, dadgummit!
-
another underheard gem from Judge: Stevie's "Love's in Need of Love Today".
-
WTF? Judge plays SD''s "The Fez"!
-
More Stevie -- is this the vision in his mind?
-
OMFG! a forgotten disco nugget: The Raes, "A Little Lovin'", one that just missed being a crossover pop hit. Reminiscent of "Doctors Orders".
Followed by the Jacksons' fab shoulda-been-a-big-hit, "Walk Right Now". Judge is on fire today.
-
WLNG Nugget of the Day: Debbie Gibson, "Out of the Blue", which i surely haven't heard since '88.
-

So Christie went from the Yellow River to San Bernardino, eh? Curiosity's piqued.

My reaction precisely. (See today's blog.)
-
listening to the CG retro-chart referenced above. Starting with some "bubbling unders" from the J-5 and (she took 2 Tylenol and now she's) Freda Payne. And OMFG! McGuinness Flint, "When I'm Dead & Gone"
-
NTM at #22: the Tremeloes, "Me and My Life", sounding like an outtake from the first McCartney LP.
-
more NTMs: Roger Whittaker's "New World in the Morning", sweet MOR pop, and Mary Hopkin's "Think About Your Children", sounding like a page from the Kenny Rogers songbook of that year ("Tell it all Brother", in particular).

and now Andy Williams (!) getting more Roger Whittaker-y than Rog himself, with a song about ships and mizzen-masts. But we're rescued by my fave Chairmen of the Board tune (shamefully not a big US hit), "Dangling on a String".
-
Dave Edmunds (the guest, since he's at #1) reveals he never "got" what was funny about Monty Python. He's just dropped several notches in my esteem.
-
Guess they couln't find Melanie's orig "Ruby Tuesday" from 1970; we get a recent "live" version. "Ruby Tuesday ... now it's a chain of restaurants," laments Ms. Safka.
-
one of the biggest "WTF"s in all of UK chartdom: CCS and their afro-jazzy instrumental cover of "Whole Lotta Love". Never did anything over here, sadly. And it followed by obscure Motown: Jimmy Ruffin, "It's Wonderful".
-
White Plains' "Julie Do Ya Love Me?" is almost identical to the Bobby Sherman cover.
But Matthews Southern Comfort's gorgeous version of "Woodstock" is unlike any other.
-
Now it can be told: the Raiders' take on "Indian Reservation" is a straight-ahead, rip-and-read copy of Don Fardon's.
and astoundingly -- at #2! -- here's Jimi's "Voodoo Chile".
-
a WLNG nugget to cap my afternoon: Shades of Blue, "Oh How Happy", one of the most delightful soul OHWs ever.
-
Radio London is back:
http://www.bigl.co.uk/
I'll def check them out later today; per a post on the NYRMB they're very retro-sounding. An even-older-skewing version of CG, apparently.
-
OMFG! WLNG plays Vikki Carr's "It Must be Him"! Loved this when I was 12. This has to be a big drag queen lipsynch fave, no? "Oh dear gawd..."

just tuned in to check 'em out: ReeRee's "Respect" followed by Danny Wilson's "Mary's Prayer" -- everything is wonderful, indeed.
-
interesting mix o'stuff on this Radio London (or "the Big L" as they call themselves): obvious oldies like "Respect", some more current things (see the link to their current Top 40, only a handful of which are also on the UK Hot 100), and oddities you'd only hear on Dean Martin's CG request hour, like The Carpenters version of "Jambalaya" (an actual Top 20 UK hit, amazingly).

Holy Flaming Mother of Pop Argot! Air Supply, "The One That You Love".
-
WLNG Nugget: The Shirelles' orig version of "Sha La la", later a hit for Manfred Mann.
-
"I know how happy
His clothes must be
'cause that's how I feel
When he's close to me"
One of the great-yet-slightly-creepy verses of all time, from the Essex "He's a Walking Miracle".
-

Their bigger hit, "Easier Said Than Done," is in my Top 10 Worst Songs of All Time.

Having heard the orig "Loves me Like a Rock" from Casey, I'm hoping JJ will favor us with the Dixie Hummingbirds' version tonite. But first, "Get the Cream off the Top", in which Eddie Kendricks tells his lady "don't be afraid to pleasure yourself" (!).
-
NTM from JJ: The Sylvers' "Fool's Paradise", feat. female vocals and sounding almost En Vogue-ish; I'm astounded to learn it's from 1972!
Followed by Candi Staten Island's fab cover of "Stand By Your Man" and the Isley's orig "Work to Do", also from '72 and one of their many great '70s singles that shamefully failed to reach the pop Top 40. Then JJ keeps "Work"-in' it with Willie Hutch, "Brother's Gonna Work it Out"!
-
I left on WMYU FM (Knoxville, TN) after Casey's '80s were over, and was treated to Frida's "I Know There's Something Going On." Fembot pop at its absolute finest. The Pussycat Dolls could totally have a dance-club hit with this if they sped it up a bit and doubled the beat.
