CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 11/26/07

[Gazoo]

You got to have a mother trucker for me!  Eddie Kendricks, making it easier for me to do the dishes and clean up the kitchen.

[RGMike]

Eddie K's a Red Ball Express -of LOVIN'! But "Least-remembered hit in the Top 10" goes to Billy Preston's "Outta-Space" soundalike, "Space Race".

Let his love flood yo' Watergate!  Oh, wait, that's from "Boogie Down" (the looong version).

[RGMike]

ooo! I was looking at the chart at home earlier and I swear I said "I hope we get 'Helen Wheels' as an extra!"  And lo...

[RGMike]

"I'm not a present for your friends to open" -- !?! -- how naive America was in '73 not to get what this song was really about.

[RGMike]

Ringo snaps a photo.  Richard Perry is truly one of the unsung musical heroes of the '70s.

[Gazoo]

I just noticed that Casey hasn't done any long-distance dedications in these replays.  Was he not doing them in the early '70s, or are there different (pirvacy?) rights for replaying those?

I hear ya.  But I'm sure there's no other act that had multiple Top 5 instrumentals AND multiple Top 5 vocals.

Woo!  "Top of the World" is there!

I believe LDDs started later on in the run of the show -- after it switched from a three-hour to a four-hour format.

What a joy to haer "Top of the World".  I don't remember Casey trying to predict next week's #1 either -- that feature was pretty short-lived, iirc. Well, I'll head over to KFOG for an hour until CGSS time.

I'm with Felix Hernandez at WBGO for the hour, at least while '89 is still the year.  And yeah, the prediction thing came as a surprise to me, especially that he predicted a rebound for "Photograph."  (He was wrong, btw: TOTW hung on for another week before being dethroned 12/15/73 by Charlie Rich.

'79 is up next, should you care.

Hmmm... a Latino guy singing "My only desire is making you mine" -- no wonder Dave loves "Coo-BAH!" so much

[RGMike]

"An' ahm out da DOOR!"  Over to CGSS in time for EnVogue's Fab. Yoo. Luss. ""My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)".

[RGMike]

HAHAHA! Thanks to Greg on CGSS, I'm hearing "Coo-BAH!" twice in less than an hour.

[RGMike]

OMFG! Greg digs out the orig "Money$ Too Tight To Mention", later covered by Simply Red. CUTBACKS!
