If you didn't hear Liitle Steven last nite, check out the show on-line: salutes to, among other things, Al Pacino's birthday and the premiere of Hair in '68 -- best set of the show, including, yes, the Cowsills, as well as "Can You Dig It" by the Monkees (from Head) and Donovan's "Fat Angel".
All this plus the newly-re-formed Buzzcocks new song and the fabulous, long-lost Joey Ramone/Holly Vincent version of "I Got You Babe". Amazing.
-
I've never heard it on ANY 10@10, but KPOO's Judge plays, of all things, Queen's "Fight From the Inside", from News of the World.
-
Club Nouveau's "other" hit, "Why You Treat Me So Bad?"
-
Judge follows a Bobby Brown double-play with the Osmonds and sez "from One Bad Apple to another". LOL!

"A is for Apple!"
"K is for Krack!"
"Cinnamon toasty Apple Krack!"

of interest to Gaz: VIP's playing someone named Felice Taylor (?) covering Love Unltd's "It may Be Winter Outside (but in my Heart it's Spring)". A faux-Motown type arrangement.
ETA: and 10 mins later, here's Love Unltd themselves with "Walking in the Rain With The One I Love" (Mr White did love those long song titles, no?).
-
VIP's "just played" feature's not working, but they're playing a reggaefied cover of Millie Jackson's "It Hurts so Good". The stuff they come up with never fails to amaze.

anecdote of the day: "Hurts so good" was written by Philip Johnson, who also wrote many other soul hits in the '70s, foremost among them Mel & Tim's "Starting All Over Again" -- apparently he got a call asking him to write a song with that title for Mel & Tim, and he thought they said Sam & Dave -- he figured S&D were getting back together (it was 1972) and so the title made sense. He wrote it in a car on the way to the studio, and found out later who it was really for.
-
OMG! whinyface Elliman's lovely cover of "Hello Stranger" -- haven't heard this in ages. shoo-bop-shoo-bop, mah baby!
-
and now VIP totally makes my day with the J-5, "Mama's Pearl", the 5th of their 6-in-a-row Top Two career-starting singles and the one you hear the least, by far.

Actually, it worked in reverse: Part of what brought Barry White and Glodean James together was that she owned a copy of the Felice Taylor single, which Barry had produced and arranged. A few years later Love Unltd. recorded their version in part as tribute to what love (and vinyl) had joined together.

Anyway, I thank you for bringing them up, 'cuz it got me to pull their CD out for the first time in many, many months and revisit it during my commute to work. What lovely work, especially underknown tracks "Under the Influence of Love," "Move Me No Mountain," and "I Needed Love—You Were There." And no kidding about those long song titles that Barry favored; they carried over into the girls' work as well: "High Steppin' Hip Dressin' Fella (You Got It Together)" is a highwater mark. Albeit not as hilariously gratuitous as the "Babe" in "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More, Babe."

CG treats us to the remake of "Relight My Fire" by Take That featuring Lulu!
-
thanks to CG, I'm hearing BAD's "E=MC squared" twice in 90 mins. Now I don't have to listen to the 10@10 replay tonite!
"I like a bit of a cavort."
-
OMGWTF! Rick Astley (who's really not ghastly), "Together Forever"!
BTW Dean's Jukebox is All-British-Artists all week.
uh-oh, someone's dropped a cup, and Frampton's submerged.
ETA: another reason I love the Brits: there's actually a town in Lancashire called Ramsbottom.
and now Dean's playing AG&D's "Resurrection Shuffle".
-
OMGWTF2: The Stranglers, looking at the "Peaches".
-
A Del Amitri song called "Nothing Ever Happens" -- apparently done by Manfred Mann as well; dunno who covered who.
-
This all-Brit Jukebox has been a treat. Dean ends with Dave Edmunds' glorious Everlys hommage, "Here Comes the Weekend".
-
the all-British Jukebox continues... and here's Danny Wilson's "Mary's Prayer", one of the most wonderful, overlooked singles of the '80s. Just gorgeous.
BTW, Greg's CGSS tomorrow will be All-British as well.
-
good lord, here's "When Will I Be famous?"by Bros, one of those flavor-of-the-month Brit boybands of the '80s that never got anywhere on this side of the pond.
-
yikes -- Wham's "Club Tropicana", which never got any airplay in the States but apparently was a hit in the UK. Club Tropicana is across the street from the Copacabana, I believe (making it easy for Messrs. Michael and Manilow to compare music and passion, which are always in fashion).
-
Greg on his All-British CGSS plays Eruption's "I Can't Stand the Rain" -- I always thought they were Dutch?
And now it's a group called the Olympic Runners, which includes Pete "18 with a Bullet" Wingfield. New to me.
-
about time: Greg plays Roachford, "Cuddly Toy" -- too bad Gaz is missing this.
-
on WLNG, 2 days in a row at almost exactly the same time: Maureen McGovern, "The Morning After". Getting ready for the Poseidon remake, no doubt.
