Has anybody ever said anything to him about Jose?  I was tempted to, but didn't want to spoil my first interaction with him on IM.

BTW, Hi, Rich!  I voted for Hugh too.  But my vote wasn't important enough to mention on the air.

Hi Dave!!  Well I only voted with my thoughts.  It probably wasn't even close, but sometimes it's the thought that counts.

I think Alejandro made peace with Dave's proclivities long ago.  After all Alejandro was a young cute Latino guy himself once upon a time...

sock it to me, mah honey!  The lead vocal on "Wild Honey", as several asked, was by Carl Wilson.  This was truly a fab-yoo-luss set.

Where's Gaz? "You Gotta Be Loved", BOS8  Still say it sounds like Keith's "98.6"-meets-David Cassidy.


Natch, they've started with 1968 on Replay Saturday, so I missed the Beach Boys (I don't think I've ever heard "Wild Honey"), but I'm here in time for the Band (though I prefer the cover from Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger's Trinity), and, more importantly, the Montanas and Vancouvers tracks.

yay! Bobby Taylor and the Vancouvers. A pretty terrible recording (sonically)


I can't decide if I agree with this or not.  Yes, the vocals get weirdly buried and muffled in the mix, but I don't know that I mind: the same thing happens with the Moments' "Love on a Two-Way Street" and the Presidents' "5-10-15-20-25-30 Years of Love" and it kinda works there.

At any rate, I remain grateful to Dave for introducing me to the track.

You've nailed the sonic refs.  One of the best examples of the "Sunshine Pop" genre, and Bobby Sherman only wishes he'd had material this good to work with.

PS: Ever heard the other near-hit for Keith, "Ain't Gonna Lie"?  Another great melody and horn chart, and it inspired my favorite Sonny & Cher song, "Living for You."

Indeed, I'm amazed that, since the Montanas version never made the Top 40, some smart A&R guy didn't recommend it to Sherman or the Partridges.  

Don't think I've heard that Keith tune; I think I heard his follow-up to "98.6", "Tell Me To My Face", a Hollies cover, once or twice.

I think the vocals are far more "buried and muffled" here than in the Moments or Presidents songs; I guess I do mind because it's a far more poignant and socially relevant lyric... in fact I wonder if they were deliberately trying to obscure it (or, conversely, trying to make people concentrate on the words).

Normally when I read message boards, I feel old. But reading these boards, I actually feel pretty young since 1968 was the year I was born and it's obvious most of you were past (at least) young childhood.
