Earlier: If there ends up being a thread, I'll probably be in bed, but I'm gonna guess either '75 or '80.
ETA: Well, I was right about 1980 -- and the thread just went up.
I requested Jimmy Ruffin's "Hold on to My Love" -- if I can't get it played the day after he died, then when? (And funny that his biggest hit "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" was in '66 -- just missed that opportunity.)
-
Lots of swell suggestions in AL's thread (and I don't just mean mine and Cap'n Jack's). Hope we actually hear a couple.
-
instant LN1: U2, "I Will Follow"
-
BOS1 Pretenders "The Wait" -- figured we'd hear them with Chrissie in town, nice that we got something other than "Brass in Pocket" which someone had the, um, brass balls to request.
-
Mercury Cougar --> "Drivin My Life Away"! BOS2 a Cap'n Jack request, and a bustout apparently
-
Blues Brothers --> Steve Forbert "Romeo's Tune". Not a segue that made sense to me (oh I guess it was after "Drivin'..." so OK) VHM to Forbert but I wish this wasn't the only song of his we ever hear.
-
Empire Strikes Back: Han & Leia --> "Romeo & Juliet" Dire Straits. BOS3.
-
BOS4 Pete, "And I Moved", a nice alternative to "Rough Boys" or "Let My Love Open the Door"
-
OMFG: RIP Mr Ruffin "Hold On To My Love" -- uber-BOS5
-
Love Boat promo --> H&O "Kiss on My List".
-
Bosom Buddies Sunny, Sunny, Sunny Sunny -> "Ain't Even Done...", JCM. VHM
-
BOS for the Jimmy Ruffin, for obvious reasons, but also to H&O, a longtime fave that started out as a guilty pleasure.
Oh jeez, not this Bosom Buddies clip AGAIN?!?!?
-
Romantics "What I Like Aboutchoo", VHM. This was as delightfully all-over-the-map a set as you could possibly ask for.
Of course there was some grumbling about "no Bruce?" but this was as true to the orig Morey concept as it gets. And 2 bustouts to boot.

I was a big H&O fan at the time, and they'd already had 2 middling hits off that LP that made me wonder if RCA knew what they were doing: their Tom Petty imitation "How Does it Feel to be Back", and the umpteenth cover of "You've Lost that Lovin Feeling". When "KOML" was released I thought it was a great pop single but it seemed like a fluke -- I had no idea the streak of success it was about to launch. Ya just never know.

Will have to catch this on SoundCloud or the replay.

Concur - this will be worth catching. And yeah, I love Bruce and all, but he doesn't have to be played every freaking time.

Per AL on FB, Jimmy Ruffin got BOS.
