CG gem: Sailor's "A Glass of Champagne" from early '76. Have not heard this since then.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

coming down in three-part harmony

I mentioned this last week -- they're finally up and running with test programming (nonstop music):

http://vipradio.net/

OMG -- great stuff.  old R&B and not overplayed stuff at all. In fact, lots of what the Brits call "Northern Soul" which I haven't heard much of at all. Pretty fab.

Me either -- ain't it grand?

As I write, I'm clearly hearing Diana & the Supes -- an obscure LP cut, I guess, but one that sounds like it coulda been a smash. And here's the first recognizable song -- Joe Cocker's "Delta Lady" of all things.

Down on Funky Street! Where the grooviest people meet!  Arthur Conley, his "other" hit.  Funky Street's near the intersection of Christopher & Castro...
