Lawd, Etta James' gospel/disco version of "Blowing in the Wind" is brilliant.

JJ was kicking ace this morning. He took his inspiration from Bert Bell, the recently-departed jock who worked locally and apparently was some kind of institution.
I wish he pub'd a playlist b/c I can't remember most the stuff he played, but it's one of the best two hours of radio in the bay area.
Tuesdays 89.5 FM
7 - 8 AM soul sounds of the 70s (pre disco)
8 - 9 AM soul sounds of the 60s

indeed, he's been quoting Bert Bell as long as I've been listening to KPOO.

2NG's retro-chart is from Sept 1968 today. Some interesting obscurities along with the obvious hits like (yes) "Hey Jude". TWO versions of "Dream a Little Dream of Me"!
OMFG: 2 cuts from Ogden's Nut Gone Flake in one morning! Small Faces "Universal" is NTM, as is the Equals' "Laurel & Hardy". Ray Charles' superb cover of "Eleanor Rigby" is an early BOS.
Elvis' "Your Time Hasn't Come Yet" is NTM and sounds like something Bobby Vinton would reject as too cutesy/schmaltzy.
OMGWTF: a group called Grapefruit covering the 4 Seasons' "C'mon Marianne" rather slavishly.
somebody call Geoff: F.Mac, "Need Your Love So Bad".
ooo! proxy of Gaz, 4 Tops' "Yesterday's Dreams".
holee crap: early Vanity Fare, covering the Sunray's 1965 US hit "I Live For the Sun" -- had no idea this existed.

BOS2 Kinks, "Days", one for the memorial service mixtape.
BOS3 The Nice/Keith Emerson doing an instrumental take on "America" (the West Side Story song, not the S&G tune).
And it's back2back instrumentals with Mason Williams making an appearance.
ooo! Stay-tus Quo's delightful "Ice in the Sun" which shamefully flopped on this side of the pond.
BOS4 Otis, "Hard to Handle" -- Black Crowes, eat yo' hearts out.
Nothing that really cries out to me in the 2nd half of this chart so I'll subject myself to 1992 on KFOG.

a rare excursion to KCDX territory finds them pounding out the deep tracks today:
Huey Lewis, "I Know What I Like"
Animals, "White Houses" (aka "you better get straight")
LedZep, "In the Light"
Dave Mason, "Can't Stop Worrying"
uh-oh, spoke too soon: "Margaritaville" -- noooooooooo! Followed by "Bobby McGee" -- eeeek!

Listening to this week's Little Steven show -- his annual tribute to NYC. fabulous stuff and one of my favorite of his theme shows each year. Not to be missed.
Holee crap: Genya Ravan has done a cover of the never-need-to-hear-again Lee Michaels "Do Ya Know What I Mean" and made it worth hearing again.
