CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 9/10/07

[RGMike]

OMFG! Debbie Gibson's "Shake Your Love", which i haven't heard in eons (and which would've brightened Dave's '87 set yesterday).

[RGMike]

OMFG2! Donny Osmond, "Sweet & Innocent".

[RGMike]

OMFG3 -- "Shame shame", the Magic Lanterns, one of the great lost perfect-pop singles of all time.

OMFG3 -- "Shame shame", the Magic Lanterns, one of the great lost perfect-pop singles of all time.

Never heard of it (or at least doesn't rign a bell at all), what year was it?

ETA: nevermind, remembered that I had Whitburn at my desk now - it's 1968.

I seem to recall us discussing it here quite a while ago (maybe Dave played it once?  or Bob?)

And speaking of '68, they just played Gene & Debbie's anachronistic teen-dream duet from that year, "Playboy", which sounds like it belongs in '63 alongside Paul & Paula. 'LNG has been killer today.

[RGMike]

Yikes, KCDX unearths Frampton's white-boy cover of "Signed Sealed & Delivered". I'm embarrassed to admit I liked this back in '77.

[RGMike]

Rare is the Motown hit I haven't heard before, but here's Mary Wells' "You Lost the Sweetest Boy", a #22 charter in '63.

Even more obscure: Sonny & Cher, "But You're Mine".

I don't know that 10@10's played it, but Mike, I put it on a cassette mix for you eons ago, I think.  I'd recorded it off Barry Scott and was similarly impressed (though I liked even better their years-later also-shoulda-beena-hit "One Night Stand").

[RGMike]

CG's Sweeney gives us Crispian St Peters, "Pied Piper", followed by 10cc's great, little-heard "I'm Mandy, Fly Me". Just like the girl... in Dr. No, no, no, no.

[RGMike]

And here's Joe Cocker's fab orig studio version of "Delta Lady" -- an FM staple back in the day, now largely forgotten.

[RGMike]

Have mercy! CGSS plays the looong version of "Boogie Down", with the "let my love flood your Watergate" (!) line that you rarely hear. And it's followed by KC's delightful "Give it Up".

[RGMike]

En Vogue gives to the needy, but not the greedy! mmm-mmm, that's RIGHT! "Cause if ya lock it, ya lose it!  Oh if only this one was on Dave's radar. Time for a  breakdown indeed.

[RGMike]

After spending 2 hours with the Monkees last week, Little Steven kicks off this week's show with a salute to "Shindig" -- which amazingly was only on the air for 16 months on ABC (about as long as its NBC counterpart "Hullabaloo" lasted).

[RGMike]

Little Steven's "Coolest Song of the Week" is "Don't Change", from Mick Jaggers new best-of-his-solo-stuff compilation -- an unreleased track produced by John Lennon that's been in the vault for 30+ years.  ("It was in May Pang's pocketbook" quipped Steven.)
