flashback of the day for the 4 Tops' superior original version of "I Believe in you & Me", which flopped but was later made a hit by Whitney H.

WLNG Nugget o' the Day: "The Love I Saw In You Was Just a Mirage", one of my fave Smokey Robinson lyrics.

Nugget #2: Scott MacKenzie's "Like An Old-Time Movie", a follow-up to "San Francisco" that I've heard maybe once in 35 years.

CG is doing their Easter Weekend Top 500 Albums of All Time countdown (they're in the mid-300s as I write). Dunno if this will pre-empt CGSS today.

They're not playing the entire albums, of course: Are they selecting one track from each?

Yup.  Maybe when they get to, I dunno, the top 20 they'll play several, but for #392, it's one track.

and still more: "Jump (For My Love)", "Dare Me", and "I'm So Indicted, er, Excited", which a friend thinks Hall & Oates shoulda got their hands on first.

BTW, a single-package GH with all their stuff would be swell, but right now you gotta buy an ABC set ('70s) and a Planet/RCA one ('80s).

CGSS Nugget o' the Day: "MotownPhilly". Would that Dave'd play that someday in place of Color Me Badd.

Hey, Mike I thought I'd check out Little Steven's archive for the first time in a couple of months, and found the link I'd saved to be not functional.

Is this the URL you've been using?

Yup. That's the homepage, just click on "archived shows". Every one a gem.

Hmmm. That's the url I have bookmarked, but the page isn't loading--it times out and I get a 404. Have to see if I have better luck from home.

I haven't really given Little Steven a shot, but  did today, and really  enjoyed it.  As a musician, I like the way he talks about tone, and recording techniques.

Now, you've pointed out the resemblance between "I'm So Excited" and "I'm Still Standing" before; which one came first?  I'm not sure I can hear H&O on "Excited."  But I will say that "Dare Me" is a terribly underrated single, and it would be really nice to hear "Automatic" for the first time in at least a decade, probably longer.

"Excited" first charted 9/82 and peaked at 30; re-released 8/84 in the wake of "Automatic" and "Jump", it peaked at 9.

EJ's "Standing" came out 5/83. Sure made me wonder at the time. And I like "Dare Me" too, tho' recently it was the victim of one of those dance-remakes where they just repeat the chorus over and over and over. Baby, make your move, already!
