You Missed "The Message" by Cymande, an instrumental I hadn't heard since it was a semi-hit in '71 or '72. Got considerable NY airplay despite never making the Top 40.

OMFG! Bill Cosby ripping off Stevie with "Little Old man". One of the dumbest records ever to hit the Top Ten.

I was confused by what was happening there.  Odd record.

But yay for this cover of "The Letter," which owes everything to Le Co-KAIR.

Not only does it make no sense, it isn't funny either (considering it's Cosby, you'd expect it to be). The Cosby equivalent of "Party All the Time", I guess.

CGSS plays Barbara Acklin's "Am I the Same Girl?", whose instrumental backing track was a hit separately as "Soulful Strut".

"one child grows up to be somebody you just love to burn."  But blood's thicker than mud, Sly.

The genius of that stanza reveals itself more to me with each passing year.

Playing now on Barry Scott's Lost 45s: Donna Fargo, "The Happiest Girl in the Whole USA."  The head, she spins.  It's a skip-a-dee-doo-dah day!

Believe it or not, this is the first time I've ever heard Elton John's "I Feel Like a Bullet (In the Gun of Robert Ford)."  It sounds like Elton's imitating Alice Cooper's imitations of Elton's balladry (see also: "You and Me," "I Never Cry").

Awww... "Funny Face," I love you.

Next week: 4 hours of story songs!

"Country Boy, You Got Your Feet in L.A.": the sequel of sorts to "Rhinestone Cowboy."  Not quite as great for karaoke, though.

Wow, Rickie Lee Jones is a smug, arrogant bitch!  She's like a less humble Joni Mitchell (yes, exactly).  Bitch-slapped the Starland Vocal Band!

wow, that never occurred to me (probably because IFLAB(ITGORF) predates the Cooper tunes), but damned if you aren't dead on -- the similarity is obvious now. I'd hoped the EJ tune would play over the closing credits of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, but I guess it didn't fit the director's "vision".
