'LNG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 7/26/10

[RGMike]

Radio de Sebb plays Third World's "Try Jah Love", which I hadn't heard in ages. If I remembered what year it was from I'd request it from AL.

and -- TANC -- it's followed by Candi Staten Island, "Victim"

[RGMike]

JJ kills me softly with Miss Rubina Flake.  Flashback to early '73, which is both a good and a bad thing.

Lawd! Soul Children, "Don't Take My Kindness for Weakness".

and mercy -- Ree-Ree's fantabulous cover of "Oh Me Oh My". Command performance indeed.

[RGMike]

This one *really* made my day: Bessie Banks, the orig version of "Go Now".

and here's the Emperors, "Karate" -- the template for Santana's "Everybody's Everything".

[RGMike]

Radio de Sebb lets Stevie's "Superwoman" track into "Where Were You When I Needed You...", which never happens. Kudos!

[RGMike]

'LNG unearths Oliver's 3rd-and-final hit, "Sunday Morning", his very nice cover of the Spanky & Our Gang hit.

[RGMike]

lawdy! Bobby W's funky interpretation of "All Along the Watchtower".

[RGMike]

BS&T are on 'LNG saying Heidi's a 'ho -- how dare they?

[RGMike]

Rarities from Radio de Sebb: Eddie Kendrick's lovely "Date With the Rain" followed by the Fifth D's fab cover of "Ticket To Ride".

[RGMike]

Sade's "Is It A Crime?" is surely one of the greatest tracks of the '80s to have never been released as a single. A crime, indeed.

[RGMike]

DAY-um!  R de S plays Candi Staton's terrif cover of "Suspicious Minds" which sadly is not on either of the 2 best-ofs I just bought.

followed by an OMGWTF: Paul Jabara's "Disco Queen" -- nice of him to write a song about himself!

[Gazoo]

Sade's "Is It A Crime?" is surely one of the greatest tracks of the '80s to have never been released as a single. A crime, indeed.

I'm with you on that.  At least she/they included it in the GH comp anyway.

BTW, did you listen to her/their new album?  I heard only "Soldier of Love" and was bored enough that I need persuasion to hear the rest.

[RGMike]

Our Canadian friends who run both AT40s on the weekends have a Saturday nite "party" show called Big Pete's House of Boogie -- it's quite a lot of fun; very cheezy, music-wise. In the past hour I've heard

Eddie Murphy, "Party All the Time"
Baltimora, "Tarzan Boy"
Rednex, "Cotton-Eyed Joe" (oh, the HORROR!)
George Baker Selection, "Paloma Blanca"
Terhnotronic, "Pump Up the Jam"

plus Crock o'Seigals, Scandal's "Ah Ayum da Wah-wee-uh" and OMFG it's "Holiday Road" (Monday is a Canuck holiday, apparently). Delightful, for the most part

[RGMike]

Barry Scott busts out Underground Sunshine's cover of "Birthday" -- I remember this getting quite a bit of NYC airplay in '69. Good cheezy fun.  Preceded by the Winstons' inadvertently gay "Color Him Father" -- "there's a man at mah house -- he's so big and strong!"

OMGWTF: the Impressions' fabulous "Choice of Colors".

[RGMike]

Holy crap: Barry S plays the Village Peeps orig version of "Go West".

Followed by a NTM Cowsills delight, "Poor Baby".

Ha! Barry exhumes the Bobby Sherman version of "Seattle", the Here Come4 the Brides theme; Perry Como actually had the Top 40 hit on this one in '69.
