helluva double-play on Offshore Radio: Poco's "Rose of Cimarron" followed by Kenny Rogers "Ruby (Don't Take your Love To Town)" -- the latter is easily one of the darkest lyrics ever to make the Top Ten.

KPOO's stream is down -- if it's not back by noon for Judge's 1973 extravaganza I will be MAJORLY PISSED!

Praise da LAWD! the stream is back just in the nick o' time. And Judge leads off his 1973 salute with a NTM obscurity from Archie Bell: "Dancin' to your Music", followed by equally obscure Wilson Pickett, "Mr Magic Man".
-
First Choice, "Smarty Pants", lookin' for romantce.
-
Ha! A commercial for Shaft in Africa calls it "the biggest Shaft of all!" Are you man enuf, indeed.
-
Holy crap! I haven't heard "The Message" by Cymande since '73.
And here's Gladys, first of several appearances today, I'll wager. Her mammaries get in her way. Biggest pips in showbiz!
ETA: Judge says "Neither One of Us" was #1 R&B, keeping Ms Flack's "Killing Me Softly" out of that spot -- on the pop chart things were reversed. And now they're both followed by the One-Eyed Gott!
-
"he's the funkiest worm in da WORLD! Like nine cans o' shavin' powdah!"
-
Highlight so far: Lyn Collins, the female JB, "Mama Feelgood"
-
I knew NYC's "I'm Doin' Fine" would show up today. Always a joy.
and now JB's havin' a funky good time.
-
I knew NYC's "I'm Doin' Fine" would show up today.
ditto "Soul Makossa"! sounds like the loooooooooooong version!

and now we get an even looooooooooooooonger version of "Keep on Truckin'". Positively endless.
ah, but Miss Millie Jackson makes it all better with "Hurt So Good". Sublime.
-
The Tempts' forgotten "Hey Girl I Like Your Style" -- a straight-up "Just My Imagination" rip-off that was a huge R&B hit but barely did anything pop.
-
Find of the Day: an obscure (only got to #98 R#B, sez Judge) El Chicano track called "Tell Her She's Lovely".

I'd never heard of this until your post. Just checked it out on YouTube: wow!

This year I've been introduced to a lot of this sort of Afro-jazz-funk rock. Love it! This one reminded me of the Sesame Street pinball game music.

One of the hipper Top 40 stations in NYC played it at the time; I kept waiting for it to hit Casey's Countdown but it never did. (I think it peaked in the 40s somehwere.)

JJ plays early Ree-Ree: "Runnin' Out of Fools"
-
The Friends of Distinction just spent 2-1/2 minutes going in circles.
-
OMGWTFLOL-of-the-Day: Dr West's Medicine Show & Junk Band (aka a pre-"Spirit in the Sky" Norman Greenbaum) with "The Eggplant That Ate Chicago"!
-
another 4 Seasons-ish obscurity: Razor's Edge, "Let's call it a Day, Girl" -- woulda loved to hear Frankie V and the joisey boyz cover this one.

wow! RB Greaves' cover of "Always Something There To Remind Me" (his follow-up to "Take a Letter Maria") -- I've maybe heard this once before in my life. A fine version. Shame he didn't have a major career.
-
Offshore Radio comes up with a lot of OMGWTF stuff but jeez -- here's Peter Noone doing a cover of Bowie's "Oh You Pretty Things"! Hearing him sing the line "homo superior" is the highlight of my morning so far.
And here's Rolf ("Tie Me Kangaroo Down") Harris doing a song called "Sun Arise" -- I've heard this song in my hazy past but it wasn't by him. Will have to google and investigate.
ETA: holy crap! it was covered by Alice Cooper -- that's the version I know. Amazing.

I downloaded it last night after I read this. It is great, thanks for the tip!

OMG -- Albert Hammond, "Air Disaster". I have not heard this in decades. Boy did he ever listen to alot of S&G before writing this. Gaz would esp find this interesting, methinks

cover versions up-the-wazoo: Neil McArther (who he?) doing the Zombies' "She's Not There", followed by the Tempts take on "I Second That Emotion".

Haha, it's TOTALLY "Boxer II." I dig it - thanks!
-
Obscurity of the Morning: an America LP track, "Everyone I Meet's From California". Cannot recall the last time I heard this.
-
Well, I never expected to hear Spanky & Our Gang's "Give a Damn" on Offshore Radio, esp since they never had a Top 40 hit in the UK. But here it is, sounding wonderful -- and segueing it into "Everyone's Gone To The Moon" was something of a masterstroke.

At some point yesterday, Offshore radio turned in Christian radio, with some vicar or pastor holding forth. Not sure what the connection was -- perhaps it's a religious station overall, or perhaps part of their broadcast charter requires equal time to community groups? -- but I didn't stick around too long. I ignored Spanky and Our Gang's advice chose to not Give a Damn. hee hee ;)

That's a one-hour religious show that comes up several times a week at odd hours (or at least odd to those of us not on Greenwich Mean Time). Unfortunately one of those times is 3pm Pacific, so yeah -- I instantly switch to 'LNG or something.
