LNG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 3/14/11
« on: March 14, 2011, 12:10:17 PM »
Judge does his Monday disco thang -- Melba Moore's "Pick Me Up, I'll Dance" is a forgotten NYC club nugget.  And it's followed by the even-more-obscure Deniece Williams disco foray, "I've Got The Next Dance".  Ya won't hear these on Kiss-FM.

JJ's Tuesday KPOO jam includes the Dixie Hummingbirds version of "Loves Me Like Rock" (sans Mr Simon) and The wicked Pickett covering "Mama Told Me Not To Come". Open up dis WIN-dah!

Larry Grogan's show never fails to astound, and besides the always-wonderful orig Felice Taylor version of ""It may Be Winter Outside...", he plays a NTM Mary Wells cover of the Beatles "I Should've Known Better" that is just delightful.

and lawd have mercy -- Wayne Cochran, "Goin Back to Miami" followed by Larry Birdsong (who?) with "You better dig your own potatoes -- keep that other man outta yo' patch".  :o

And Sweet Lou sez it's a new day, babies!

Easy 93 for a while this morning. Gerry Marsden's ode to a gay Liverpudlian: "Fairy, Cross the Mersey"

and speaking of boats: Yacht Rock at its finest, with Ambrosia in their El Lay slickster period; and the Commodores, sailin' on.

JJ plays the fab First Choice: smarty pants/for romance/just one glance -- now THAT'S songwriting!

Not often I hear Melba Moore twice in one week but here she is with "This Is It", a fine shouldabeen that shamefully peaked at #91 (!) in '76.

Bypassing Casey today to listen to Peter Young's delightful JazzFM podcast, and lo, he plays Cymande's "The Message" -- the 2nd time this week and the 3rd this month that I've heard this forgotten track.  TANC3!!

Mr Young commented "from 1973 but sounding remarkably fresh -- hasn't dated one bit".

Young's final hour (it's a 3-hour show) is dedicated each week to vintage soul, and today's theme is "Soul Gobbledygook" -- songs with nonsense lyrics.  "Shoorah-Shoorah", "Sha-la-Boom-Boom", "Pata Pata", "Oogum Boogum" etc.  Just delightful.
