CG/KPOO/WLNG etc Week of 2/13/06

[RGMike]

JJ in da  house on KPOO.  Smooth Smokey, "Tell Me Tomorrow".

[urth]

listening to the CG Rock Show for the first time in yonks -- and lo, TRB's "2-4-6-8 Motorway".  Tuffest record ever by an openly gay artist?

Bob Mould might take exception to that, depending on your definition of "tuff." But 2-4-6-8 def. rules.

Kinks fans alert:  Little Steven's show this week revolves around an interview with Ray Davies; many Kinks tunes and cuts from Ray's new solo disc.  A must-listen.

Meanwhile, some gems uncovered on JJ's '70s Soul Jam Sat nite on KPOO:

1) a pre-"Everybody Plays the Fool" Main Ingredient doing a lovely cover of Curtis Mayfield's "I'm So Proud".

2) Lamont Dozier's "Why Can't We Be Lovers?"

3) Margie Joseph (best-known for "Xmas Gift" on the Stax/Atlantic holiday compilation), doing "What's Come Over Me?" with backing vox by Blue Magic

4) Eighth Day's "You've Got to Crawl (Before You Can Walk)", their follow-up to "She's Not Just Another Woman"

5) Detroit Emeralds, "Do Me Right"

6) Millie Jackson, "Ask Me What You Want"

If you're anywhere near a radio on Sat nite, you GOTS to be checkin' out JJ!
