Joe South, whilin' away the hours/in his ivory tower, playin' the Games People Play. One of the great pop lyrics of the '60s.

"people walkin' up to ya
singin' Glory Hallelujah
and they try to sock it to ya
in the name of the lord"

Some things haven't changed...

Please tell me you've seen the movie Beautiful Thing.  Cass's songs abound.

you gots to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me!  CGSS plays Gwen Guthrie. Romance/finance/wide stance!

And he's threatening to play Linda Clifford's disco version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" which I don't think I've ever heard.

Holy crap! A cheezy disco version of the "I Love New York" jingle, at great length.

Felix Hernandez on WBGO this afternoon doing a set of spoken-word songs.  From the answer record to "She's Got Papers on Me" ("you gonna PAY me for my YEARS and my TEARS") to JB's "King Heroin," which I think was the last Top 40 spoken-word song.

Dammit!  I missed, earlier in that set, Pigmeat Markham's "Here Comes the Judge," which Felix calls "the first rap record."

nope -- Byron MacGregor's "The Americans" came 2 years later. I'm trying to think of others.

Good call.

Now - TANC! - a fab cover of Dusty's "I Don't Want to Hear It Anymore," vocals by someone who sounds kind of like Levi Stubbs but this is clearly not the Four Tops.  Will have to wait for the backsell.

Well, I'll be: It was Jerry Butler!  I really should get to know the Iceman.

From '64 (meaning Dusty was covering him?) -- it was the B-side of "I Stand Accused". Ah loves me some Iceman.

Little Steven leads off his show with a salute to The Godfather, including such appropriate selections as "One Hit To the Body", "Shotgun", and -- who else? -- Holly & the Italians.
