no idea who it was, but KPOO's DJ Marilynn just played somebody turning the Iggles' "Take it To The Limit" into quite a soulful workout! Lawd have mercy!
ETA: it was Etta James. Shoulda known.
-
Judge favors us with little-heard MJ: "Burn This Disco Out", a forgotten track from Off the Wall.
-
NTM: George Benson's version of "Soulful Strut"!
-
NTM: George Benson's version of "Soulful Strut"!
and more NTM jazz: Stanley Turrentine doing his instrumental take on Cher's "Take Me Home" (!)
-
Giving new meaning to the phrase "disco fever": a disco version of, well, "Fever"! Roy Ayres covering the Peggy Lee chestnut.
-
Bob Shannon's fab "Behind the Hits" on WLNG plays Lulu's "The Boat That I row" (the flip of "To Sir With Love"). Turns out "Boat" -- I never knew this -- was written by Neil Diamond!
-
"lemme put dis hamburger down... ah don' want no malt... ah wanna DANCE!!"
Archie Bell's lovable "Tighten Up" follow-up "I Just Can't Stop Dancin'" gets an airing from WLNG. "Sho' nuff groovin' now, y'all!"
-
OMGWTFLOL-of-the-Week! Shannon (aka Marty Wilde, Kim's dad), "Abergavenny", one of my all-time favorite lost hits. Wide Boy Awake did a new-wave cover of this in the early '80s that I've yet to hear.
-
early Bobby Goldsboro: the catchy "Little Things", not smarmy at all, sorta Neil Diamond-meets-Johnny Rivers. Some country hunk could have a hit with this.
-
Yikes! WLNG plays the "censored" version of "Brown-Eyed Girl" -- no makin' love in the green grass. Been years since I've heard that.
And it's followed by the 5th Dimension's glorious "Sweet Blindness". Get happy!
-
There's only one October: first "Monster Mash" sighting of the season on WLNG.
-
'LNG's on a Bobby Goldsboro kick this week. Today he's "leaving the straight life behind" -- do tell! Guess that older woman with the mint julep did a lousy job with her two lips...
-
"stereo" doesn't really rhyme with "Mario", but Cimarron's "Rings" is still a delightful '70s OHW.
-

Where I grew up, it sure did. (I have Eye-talian relatives back in the 'Burgh named Mario - a father and son - and everyone pronounced it that way.)
-
Giving the UK's new Jazz-FM a try today. It's a bit, um, jazzier than that KKSF dentist's-office "jazz".

WLNG never fails to come up with an OMGWTFLOL (or 3) every day, but jeezus: Englebert, "Winter World of Love".
-
There's somethin' groovy'n'good 'bout whatever Mama Cass sings... and it's gettin' better!
-
TANC-of-the-Day: after hearing Naked Eyes's version this morning, now we get the orig "Aways Something There..." by Sandie Shaw on WLNG.
-
yet another OMFG -- the Association, "Everything That Touches You", I haven't heard this in ages.
-
Hearing mid-'80s Survivor on an oldies station remains an unsettling proposition for me. ("High on You" now on CBS-FM - credit for digging deep, but damn I feel old.)

Ha! Beat me to it -- I enjoyed that, and it's the sort of "'80s oldie" that CBS-FM should certainly play, it fits in well IMHO, better than, say, "Eye of the Tiger". But of course Allen Sniffen would disagree.
-
Bob Shannon's great exit line: "I've gotta get to my book club meeting -- we're reading Of Moose and MILFs. It's very timely!" LOL!
And I'll exit too; Shannon's the only reason I listen to CBS-FM. I'm off to WLNG for some wondrous obscurities.
-
Think I mentioned this the last time WLNG played it (it was NTM then), but here it is again: the Critters, "Don't Let The Rain fall Down on Me". Sunshiny loveliness.
-
Miss Ross gets "Eaten Alive" on WLNG. Somehow I suspect it's been a long time she's been eaten by *anybody*.

Eaten, no. But she got bitten by the drunk bug.

You know, I just heard "The Bicyclettes of Belize," or whatever that's called, for the first time this week. What a lovely melody. The part of me that loves Herb Alpert is a sucker for that. Anyone have more recommendations in that lite-adult genre?

An Englebert best-of would serve you well; all his hits of that period are similarly lovely. Didya know he had an A/C hit in the '80s with Rupert Holmes' "Last of the Romantics"?
