KPOO etc week of 5/21/12
« on: May 22, 2012, 07:52:49 AM »
KPOO's JJ clearly listens to WDAS on the 'net; he'd never played Mavis Staples' "A House is Not a Home" before they came along (it's a staple of their playlist).

And now he plays the fab Ace Spectrum "Don't Send Nobody Else" -- which the KPOO automation played in the 6:00 hour, but I'm not complaining.

Just heard it, too. Very nice. 

Isn't this musical bed song by the Crusaders?

yup, "Put it Where You Want It"

*LOVE* the orig "Hunter Gets Captured..." by the marvy Marvelettes. Later re-made by Blondie.

LAWD -- the orig "Ride Your Pony" by Lee Dorsey! Covered very well in the '80s by the Fleshtones, iirc.

'DAS plays one of my fave forgotten Supes hits, "The Composer". That and "No Matter What Sign You Are" were back-to-back underachievers in the summer of '69 and I love both.

2NG's retro-chart is from May 1969. Awesome stuff in store.  Crazy Elephant and the girls in Tex-a-can. OMG: "Oh Happy Day".

damn: Dylan's "I Threw It All Away"! Happy 71st Bob.

Jefferson, pre-"Take Me in Your Arms" with "Colour of My Love"

RIP Duck Dunn: "Time Is Tight", which I suspect we'll hear in AL's "memorial" set Monday.

OMFG: Chicken Shack feat Christine McVie covering "I'd Rather Go Blind"

back-to-back at # 25 & 24: "Boom-Bang-a-Bang" and "Dick-a-Dum-Dum" --coincidence?

Crapton's son is married to Mabel. Johnny Nash reggae-fies "Cupid"

The Supes disavow they dirty raggedy mama. Shame!

Lawd! TJ wants to "Love Me Tonight". Swoon!


Do you know the (Raga)muffin man?  Manfred Mann does, man.

Lovely lovely lovely: S&G's "Boxer" and Mary Hopkins' unfairly forgotten "Goodbye"

A very interesting Top 5: 2 US #1's ("Get Back" and "Dizzy") and 3 songs that did NOTHING over here: the Isleys' fabulous "Behind a Painted Smile", F.Mac's "Man of the World" (NTM) and Herman's Hermits' "My Sentimental Friend".
