ooo! Kid Creole, "Annie, I'm not Your Daddy"

"'cause if I was in your blood
then you wouldn't be so ugly..."

LOL!

Oh My! Earlier we heard Womack & Womack, "Love Wars", and now here's daddy Bobby's "California Dreaming".

Followed by another Bobby: Mr Brown, "Every Little Step", long before he got interested in Doodie Bubbles.

most out-of-left-field WLNG Nugget EVER: "Son of My Father" by Giorgio (?) from 1972. I've never heard this version before, but I've heard the British version by Chicory Tip, which was a UK #1 that year.  Can't wait to look this one up in Whitburn -- I don't think it did very well chartwise.

Nugget of the Week: Checkmates Ltd, "Black Pearl", their fab Phil Spector-produced hit from '69.  Spectacular.

It's credited to Giorgio Moroder on the "Have a Nice Day" comp I have (I forget which volume, same one with "Softly Whispering I Love You").

Thanks! per Whitburn the label said simply "Giorgio"; there was a cover battle, with Giorgio peaking at 48 and the Chicory Tip version (credited to simply "Chicory" in the US) only got to 91.  Moroder didn't chart again until "Chase" in '79.
