CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 4/28/08
« on: April 28, 2008, 01:04:26 PM »
KPOO's kinda boring (musically) and kinda crappy (stream-wise), so I'm bailing in favor of SoulClassics247.

Lawd! "We Got More Soul", Dyke & the Blazers. Funny, I don't know too many dykes who wear blazers.

Holy Crap! MJ & Mick, "State of Shock"!  I'm in one!  and it's followed by Sade's "Your Love is King".  Oh My!

Party alert!  JJ will be doing 4 hours of James Brown on his Sat nite show this week -- it's JB's 75th birthday (or "birfday" as JJ says).  Jump back! kiss mahself! UNGH!

I didn't make a "birfday" request for myself from Dave for Friday's set; wonder if James's 75th might mean a Soul patrol or an all-JB 10@10.

OMGWTFLOL! CG plays Ms Reddy's "Angie Baby".  Alan O'Day's peak as a lyricist, certainly.

an only-on-CG segue: from the Stranglers' "Peaches" to Madge's fab "Dress You Up". Head-to-toe in more ways than one...

this week's CG retro-countdown revolves around Tina Charles (who?), whose "I Love to Love" was #1 in March '76 --it did next to nothing on these shores.  A fine, eclectic chart that includes Yvonne Fair's "It Should Have Been Me", discussed here just recently, at #5.

Turns out Ms. Charles was hooked up with Biddu of Biddu Orchestra fame, and was the voice on 5000 Volts' "I'm on Fire". And she sang backup on Cockney Rebel's "Come Up and See Me (Make Me Smile)"!Live'n'learn!

Dame Cliff with a forgotten ballad, "Miss You Nights", that often got segued into ED&JFC's "Nights Are Forever" back then.  And -- WTF? -- Glen Miller charted in '76 with a re-release of "Moonlight Serenade".

Slade's "Let's call it Quits" -- new to me, and (melodically) a complete rip-off of "Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues)"

Billy Ocean's glorious Fauxtown gem "Love Really Hurts..." is the highlight of any day.

"Somebody call the PO-lice!
That woman down there is a doggone thief!"

Ms Fair reads the riot act -- what a performance!
