Haven't had a lot of time to do my usual play-by-play of Judge's Monday jam, but it's been fab as usual. Right now: Marvin sez "Come Get to This", one of my very favorite of his lesser chart hits.
-
smooth Smokey gives his woman "A Love That She Can Count On" on KPOO.
-
Lawd! Barbara Acklin's "Am I The Same Girl?" -- the record whose instrumental backing track became Young-Holt Unltd's "Soulful Strut". Either version is a delight and totally makes my morning. (Swingout Sister did a nice cover of this in the early '90s.)
-
OMG! Otis covering JB -- Papa's got a REALLY brand new bag!
-
rare Tempts that's NTM: "You're Candy To Me" (?) with Eddie K on lead.
-
"but honey... he's not our kind"
'LNG plays the great "Society's Child"
followed by Lezzie Gore, "You Don't Own me"
(it's a Women's History Month thang, y'all)
and for the "I Didn't Know That" file -- the same organist played the similar codas on "Society's Child" and the Raiders' "Indian Reservation"!

Wow, that's interesting - I always assumed Janis did her own coda ("look how precocious I am!) and that Paul Revere did the finish on IR.
-
talk about your forgotten hit: David Gates, "Took the Last Train".
-
on 'LNG, Gerry & the Pacemakers sing about the Liverpool gay scene: "Fairy Cross the Mersey".
-
wow, very rare Left Banke: "She May Call You Up Tonight"
-
wow, very rare Left Banke: "She May Call You Up Tonight"
Love that one. (And it's yet another song covered by Sweet-Hoffs, I must add.)
-
OMGWFTLOL-of-the-Month: listening to CG's retro chart (from March 1978) and here's Tom Robinson band with "Don't Take No For an Answer" -- haven't heard this great song in ages. And it's uncensored, no less!
"I offer you a slice
But you tell me no dice
'cause you want the fucking lot"
-

06. Brotherhood Of Man - Figaro
Wow, I was wondering if this was son-of-"Angelo," and that doesn't come close to doing justice.
Unflattering pantsuits (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk0MwkDZhKs) and a terrible transition from bridge to chorus (can someone who knows music theory tell me why it's wrong?). And sorry, Agentha II on the left is fine, but the gal on the right looks too much like Deputy Wiegel from Reno 911.
-
checking out that "Bob" station in Austin -- "we play anything" indeed! here's a brief sample:
Alanis, "You Oughta Know"
ABBA, "Dancing Queen"
Enigma, "Sadeness"
Stones, "It's Only RnR"
-
Barry Scott's doing an hour of songs that peaked at #41. First up, Tony Tribe (?) with a reggae version of "Red Red Wine" from 1969 that I had no idea existed.
-
He's got the potion and the motion: First Choice's "Dr. Love" is NTM, and surely deserved better. Fer crissakes, KISS's Dr. Love made the Top 40!
-
There will never be another moment in radio history when Cat Stevens' "Banapple Gas" is followed by Jermaine Stewart's "The Word Is Out."
-
This was astonishing enough that I'll repost: Richard Cocciante, "When Love Has Gone Away." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vNOuiQ4Yi4)

did he play "Tiny Dancer"?
Glad you finally got to hear the fabulous "Doctor Love".
-
OMGWTFLOL-of the Month: Betty LaVette doing a Soul cover of "Just Dropped In To See What Condition..." from back in '68 -- NTM and a total gas.
I didn't know she got her big break from Kenny Rogers' brother, who signed her to his fledgling label in '68.
ETA: if you saw the pre-inaugural concert in Jan, Ms. LaVette sang "A Change is Gonna Come" with Jon Bon Jovi.
-
another for the "I didn't Know that" file... Sam the Sham did the orig version of "Apple Peaches Pumpkin Pie" -- they called it "Ready or Not" and it flopped , then Jay & the Techniques came along.
-
Teen-dreaminess on 'LNG: the Chiffons' "I Have a Boyfriend", a Little Steven fave that I've come to love.
-
NTM: Keith, with one of his sound-alike follow-ups to "98.6", "Daylight Savings Time". (more time for love, per the lyrics)
-
Bummer: suddenly the CG player (which I just used last week) is asking me for a username and password -- tried the email and password I use to log into the website itself, but nothing. I emailed them; we'll see what if any response I get.
-
TANC: last week Gaz & I discussed MOR singers making '70s comebacks, and here's Perry Como on 'LNG with his lovely 1973 cover of Don MacLean's "And I Love You So", which actually benefits from the fact that Como was in his early '60s when he recorded it. A fine chart swan-song.
-
OMGWTF -- 'LNG plays Henry Gross' (unfairly maligned, IMHO) "Shannon", which I haven't heard since the last time Dave played it as an HFH.
-
OMGWTF -- 'LNG plays Henry Gross' (unfairly maligned, IMHO) "Shannon", which I haven't heard since the last time Dave played it as an HFH.
is this the one that goes "Shannon is gone, I heard she's drifting out to sea..." in falsetto?
I loved that song.

Yup. Written about his dead dog. Lotsa people just seem to HATE it. Mr Gross was a former member of Sha-Na-Na, amazingly, and his follow-up, the decidedly more upbeat "Springtime Mama" (which actually scratched the bottom of the Top 40) is a great lost hit:

Highlight of the morning, from KCDX: Mountain's "Theme From an Imaginary Western", an FM staple in 1970, now all-but-forgotten...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMx6OvwboFo
-
back to 'CDX in time for Huimble Pie to spend 30 days in your, um, hole.
Followed By Mott the Hoople's fab "Golden Age of RnR" and some minor 3DN ("Brickyard Blues").
-
NTM on 'CDX: Timothy B Schmidt's "Gimme Some Money", sounding like a Glenn Frey Miami Vice reject.
But it's followed, appropriately, by Randy Newman's fab "I Love LA".
-
OMGWTFLOL! Andrew Gold's "Thank You For Being a Friend", before it became the Golden Girls theme.
-
Jimmy Ruffin wants you to hold on to his, er, love.

Holy Flaming Mother of Jeezus! JJ on KPOO unearths a soulful cover of "Spirit in the Sky" by Dorothy Morrison -- onetime lead female vocalist with the Edwin Hawkins Singers. Lawd! Great, NTM, and (sadly) it never even charted. Gotta research this one when I have some time next week.
Followed by 2 classics -- Chi-Lites "Power to the People" and Detroit Emeralds "Feel the Need" -- and the decidedly less-than-classic "Superfly Meets Shaft", one of the rare black cut-in records.
-
Barry Scott's got Peter Tork as a guest tonight. He doesn't sound great.
WOS to the DeFrancos' degradation of "Save the Last Dance for Me"; OMGWTF of set to Glen Campbell's torched medley of "Don't Pull Your Love" and "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye," which I'd never heard before.
