KPOO on Tuesday morning: "When You Get Right Down To It", it's a better choice than a Drive '80s set.
-
OMG! The 5 Stairsteps and Cubie, long before "Oooh Child", with "Let's Stay Together" (not the Al Green tune).
-
One of my favorite covers: this soulful, upbeat version of Streisand's "People" by the Tymes.

fab early Spinners: "I'll Always Love You".
-
Ha! the Bobb B. Soxx and the BlueJeans version of "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah". Nuthin' like black folk singin' a song from a racist movie, y'alls. LOL!
-
You old booga-boo, you! 'LNG plays PJ Proby, "Nikki Hoeky". Get hip to the cogitation!
-
Holy crap! 'LNG plays "DW Washburn" -- I loved this when it was a (not-so-big) hit, the Monkees' last Top 20 single in 1968. Haven't heard it in years.

I always forget it exists - it's just about the only Monkees song I don't have on CD. The song was supposed to be a Coasters comeback record if the Monkees hadn't done it first.

OMGWTF -- Dionne W singing "Walk on By" in German! Ja wohl!

I remember it getting the standard big push on Top 40 radio (WABC's "Pick Hit of the Week" etc) for a couple of weeks, then it became apparent that it was not well-liked -- plus the TV show had been cancelled by then -- and it disappeared into oblivion. I also remember it being #1 on the American Bandstand Top Ten one week in late summer and thinking "Huh? how is that possible?"

'LNG plays Vanity Fare's lovely lilting "Early in the Morning", which I've always preferred to "Hitchin' a Ride".
-
Holy crap -- Reg Owen (?) doing the orig hit version of "Manhattan Spiritual", a jaunty instrumental from '59 -- I have a 45 of Mike Post doing a synth-laden '70s version of this.

Oh, me too. I'm a sucker for those sorts of thickly European oom-pah melodies. Just like "Those Were the Days" and "My Melody of Love." That would be a fun 10-song set to put together.

Maybe one of my Top Ten lyrics of all time: Ray Stevens, "Mr. Businessman".
Spending counterfeit incentive
Wasting precious time and health
Placing value on the worthless
Disregarding priceless wealth
You can wheel and deal the best of them
And steal it from the rest of them
You know the score, their ethics are a bore
Eighty-six anesthetic crutches prop you to the top
Where the smiles are all synthetic
And the ulcers never stop
When they take that final inventory,
Yours will be the same sad story everywhere
No one will really care
No one more lonely than
This rich important man
Let's have your autograph
Endorse your epitaph

WFUV , which I haven't listened to much other than Vin Scelsa's shows, is doing "Free-Form Fridays" -- anything requested or that pops into the DJs heads. Frampton's "I Wanna Go to The Sun" as we speak. It's been very interesting so far.

Highlight of the Week: Flaming Ember's "Mind Body & Soul". LAWD! If only Levi Stubbs had tackled this one.
-
Even tho' she took 2 Tylenol, Freda Payne is falling "Deeper & Deeper". She jus' can't help herself, and neither can Gladys, who don't wanna do wrong.
But ooo la-la-la! here's Michael & his brothers with their gorgeous cover of Smokey's "Darling Dear". And another cover: the Ice Man himself, duetting with Brenda Lee Eager on "Close to You".

tuned into the KPOO and just add to say that Irma Thomas does a fine rendiiton of Time Is On My Side.
