'LNG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 8/2/10

[RGMike]

No escaping Miss Candi Staten Island these days: JJ plays her fine cover of "In the Ghetto".

[RGMike]

NTM and quite nice: a 6-woman British a capella group called Mint Juleps doing a cover of "Every Kinda People".

[RGMike]

whose wine? what wine? whythehell must Frampton whine?  'LNG plays the long-ish (7 min) "radio edit" of "Do You feel Like We Do?" 

[RGMike]

'LNG plays the Royal Guardsmen's sequel, "Return of the Red Baron" -- haven't heard this in decades, and it's really, um, not very good.

[RGMike]

Radio de Sebb's "just played" feature isn't working this morning, so I've no idea who's doing this disco-fied cover of "Midnight At The Oasis" (!)

[RGMike]

NTM: the Gil Scott Heron version of "Home Is Where the Hatred is" -- the original?  I'd only heard the Esther Phillips version until now.

[Gazoo]

NTM: the Gil Scott Heron version of "Home Is Where the Hatred is" -- the original?  I'd only heard the Esther Phillips version until now.

Yup, GSH wrote and originally recorded it.

[RGMike]

Just now on London's JazzFM: Little Milton's orig version of "More and More", later covered by BS&T -- NTM and quite soulfully wonderful.

JJ ends his KPOO show nicely with The COD's Michael The Lover:

... some Dionne Warwick tune and some instrumental tune.  

dang, I wish JJ posted a playlist!

[RGMike]

always a treat: KPOO plays the DeeDee Warwick version of "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" -- even rarer than the Madeline Bell take, which it pre-dates by about a year-and-a-half.

[RGMike]

Barry Scott just played the Brady Bunch's "Sunshine Day"  -- damned if one of the male kids (not sure which is which) sounds a LOT like that Tony DeFranco kid -- and not in a good way 

Barry's 1978 Yearbook segment brings the great treat of H&O's "It's a Laugh", followed by Crystal Gayle's lovely "Talking in Your Sleep"
