CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 1/26/09

[RGMike]

'LNG doesn't disappoint me: Judy Collins' lovely "Someday Soon". Talk about a gem.

[RGMike]

wow -- I haven't heard Melanie's "Nickel Song" in ages.

[mshray]

DT just played EJ's "Friends" a few minutes ago.

That & today's set made me really miss Dave.  A LOT.

[RGMike]

OMGWTF -- the orig 1965 version of "The Way of Love" by Kathy Kirby! -- NTM, and she also keeps the gender-bending perspective just as Cher did.

and speaking of gender-bending by Cher: here's "You Better Sit Down Kids"!  She'll still be your dad!

[RGMike]

KCDX brightens my afternoon with the Woofa Toofa -- live Geils, "Do I Love You?"  Ah DO!

[RGMike]

There's never been any reason to like Head East's "Never Been Any Reason".

[RGMike]

And now it's time to get down with JJ on KPOO -- literally, as he starts the show with the O'Jays song of the same name.

[RGMike]

wow, JJ plays the original Narada, "I Shoulda Loved Ya", as his weekly "Bay Area Power Play".  Followed by gospel-crossovers The Rance Allen Group, whose "Ain't No Need of Crying" is one of the best Earth Wind & Fire imitations ever to chart (I actually thought it *was* EWF for years).

[RGMike]

"He makes me feel just like a woman -- something that you could never do!"

Ouch! Gladys tells that no-good man the TRUTH! Of course, that was before she became a subservient-to-men Mormon lady.

And here's the Persuaders with their fine orig version of "Some Guys Have All the Luck", 11 years before Rod the Mod sped it up for the MTV crowd.

OMGWTFLOL -- a NTM track by 100 Proof, "One Man's Leftovers (is Another Man's Feast)", which actually contains the line "yum-yum-yummy, got love fo' mah tummy"! Talk about sloppy seconds!
