Barry Scott, on "lost 45s", just played Spanky & Our Gang's version of "Everybody's Talkin'" -- early 1968, they did it before Nilsson! It was the B-side of their hit "Sunday Morning".

I'd like that for my collection!  Cap'n, do you have it already?

FYI, it was shown on the label with the incorrect title "Echoes". It appears on most of S&OG's best-of collections.

Had to listen to Sunday Morning to see if it was a Velvet Underground cover -- it's not.

I did a little iTunes sample tasting, and the old version is of course dated, in a perky sort of way.  They did a remake in 2009, which is much more folk-like.

Peter Gabriel offered the duet part on "Don't Give Up" to Dolly Parton. But she'd never heard of him.

Attention Big Fingers McGee:  I just found out that Andrew Roachford of "Cuddly Toy" fame has been a member of Mike + the Mechanics since 2010.

I Didn't know that!

I did not know this:
The father of the South African band Kongos ("Come With Me Now") had a US hit of his own back in 1971. Would this be a 10@10 bustout?

I saw that someplace, and was like "what?" I'll have to check that out sometime.

Alas, no. John Kongos' "He's Gonna Step On You Again" was played a half-dozen times within the parameters of the Shraytabase in the DM era, not sure if it's turned up since.

ETA: Just learned that the Shraytabase has his surname spelled wrong. Live and learn.

ha -- I saw that. THREE different spellings (Congos, Kongos, Kongas). And we've heard the 1990 cover version by Happy Mondays a few times too.

Just heard Ronnie Laws' cover of "Tell Me Something Good" (Rufus & Chaka Khan had the hit in '74) on WTF (which is back on the air, btw). In looking it up, because I couldn't ID who was covering it, I learned that the song was written by Stevie Wonder. I had no clue.
