VHM off the top to Chicago, "Wishing You Were Here", which is one of those songs (like "Badge") where the bridge sounds like a whole other song & I find myself wishing that they'd have written that song in full somewhere else.

Ooh! What's this soul orchestra piece? The backing track sounds like Leon Haywood's "I Wanta Do Something Freaky To You" sped up 33%. This has to be my BOS.

Maybe if they'd written it in full the last two lines wouldn't be such a cop-out:
"But I've got a job to do, and I do it well" (yes, I heard "Live and Let Die" too, thanks)
"So I guess that's how it is" (couldn't you have worked on this line a bit, Pete?)
Still a very fine song, though. Beach Boys on backing vox, I think.
-
BOS2 to "The Air That I Breathe": a guilty pleasure for some, a genuine pleasure for me. I wish I had the range to sing this one. Anyone hear k.d. lang's cover from her Drag album?

Indeed, it's the BBs who I think got billing on the single. Don't know what that third song was either. And spaeking of lovely vox: the Hollies, always a VHM. Gorgeous.

I've never heard this song before, but it's unmistakably the Doobies. Sounding quite nice.
-
VHM Doobs, "Listen to the Music of the Eyes of Silver." So shameless it shoulda been a bigger hit.

GET CHRISTIE LOVE!
"Christie, you know what you got? You got CHUTZPAH, that's what you got!"
"It's only 15 floors down ... and you don't have to worry about the first 14!"
Damn, Teresa Graves had mad tiger style on that show.
-
"How does it feel to be a Lady Pig?"
Get Christy Love!
...nicely segue-ing into AWB "Pick Up The Pieces", too.

VHM2: Get Christie Love! feat. the late great Theresa Graves. TRIO cable channel is showing Laugh-In all this month and I can't get them, dammit.
-
OMFG! "Ride the Tiger" superduper BOS!
-
WOOOHHH!!! Kantner's greatest guitar riff!
BOS3 to Paul, Grace and the gang. The two never sounded so good without Marty completing the harmony.

I *swear* I did not have this song in mind when I posted the above. :P

And neither did she -- she had Pam Grier on the brain :wink:

Oh, how I wish I could get a regular Laugh-In fix. Might be my favorite show ever.
The only thing I remember from "Get Christie Love" was an opening scene from an episode: She was undercover as a prostitute, and a guy tried unsuccessfully to solicit her. Angered, he called out, "Nigger!" She turned and replied, "Nigger lover!" I was astonished that this was actually said on TV.
Now what's this about her and Pam Grier?

I don't dislike Jackson Browne the way POC does, but it sure lowers the number of posts when he comes on.

There's ear candy. And then there's Jackson Browne, who can only be described as ear broccoli.

What I meant was, GCL was ABC's attempt to cash in on the popularity of female-headlined blaxploitation movies like Coffy and Cleopatra Jones.
