CG/VIP/KPOO/WLNG etc Week of 5/8/06

[RGMike]

Kim Weston's wonderful "Helpless". Poor, dear, fat Kim...

[RGMike]

Rod the Mod's very nice early-'70s cover of "Oh No Not My Baby", which I haven't heard in ages.

[RGMike]

TANC: first Judge played "Midnight at the Oasis" yesterday, now it shows up on VIP.   Perhaps Madeline Peyroux should do a remake?

[RGMike]

OMG! Dean's Cheezeball highlight on the CG Jukebox: Irene Cara, "Fame".

[RGMike]

Elton's "Are You Ready For Love?", which I haven't heard in a dog's age.

[RGMike]

VIP spins early Dusty, "Some of Your Lovin'" -- a new one on me.

[RGMike]

VIP-trina (or as close as they've come to one):Billy Preston's "That's the Way God Planned it", which was quite the FM staple back in the day, but the is the only place I've heard it in the last, oh, 30 years or so.

[RGMike]

Thank God it's CGSS: KC, Givin' it up!

[RGMike]

Strut yo' funky stuff, sho' 'nuff!

"You don't have to dance like Travola...
Move it like a slow rolla coasta!"

LOL!

[RGMike]

Get UP-ah! Stay on the scene-ah! Like a sex machine-ah! UNGH!

[RGMike]

Greg plays the Dells, "Wear it on Our Face", which I think was written by Linda Lovelace. :wink:

[RGMike]

Greg just played a Bill Withers song, something about "Up here in Harlem" (?). New to me but damn it was good.

[RGMike]

WLNG Nugget o' the Day: Tommy Roe, "Jam Up & Jelly Tight", silly but infectious. "Mah mah mah mah baby now you're outta sight!"

Nugget #2: Cyndi Lauper's lovely, forgotten later hit "All Through The Night".

[RGMike]

Over to JJ on KPOO in time for Teena Marie, "I Need Your Lovin'".

[RGMike]

JJ starts his Sat nite KPOO jam in fine style: Hues Corp., "Rockin' Soul", and Little Sister's other hit, "Somebody's Watchin' You". And now Donny Hathaway, "gone but not forgotten, up in Soul Heaven."  He took a loooong fall to get up to Soul Heaven.  Right, Roberta?
