Didn't they call this "Alternate Title" over there?

At any rate, a fantastic countdown, more evidence to support my belief that '67 was the crescendo year of rock & soul.

Yes -- I corrected it for the benefit of those unfamiliar with the "controversy".

Decided to Deep Track it today, and am rewarded with David Bowie covering S&G's "America"(!) apparently from the Concert For NYC.  Hearing Bowie deliver the line "...the man in the gabbardine suit is a spy..." is really interesting.

Yes -- I corrected it for the benefit of those unfamiliar with the "controversy".

This particular retro-chart show, in which Mike Sweeney is interviewing Gary Booker of Procol Harum, appears to have been recorded several years ago -- they're talking about Desmond Dekker as if he's still alive, and he died in May of 2006.

ETA: great anecdote -- Booker says Procol Harum turned down Woodstock because Robin Trower's wife was about to have a baby in Aug '69, and they decided to go back to England instead. Then the baby ended up being born two weeks late.

20.    Vikki Carr - It Must Be Him

"a cracking piece of cheese" Says Mike Sweeney.  I LURVED this song when I was 12. That shoulda been a major clue that I was gay. Ah, hindsight...

And The New Vaudeville Band's "Finchley Central" is NTM and a fairly workmanlike "Winchester Cathedral" knockoff.

Yikes -- Topol, several years before he'd star in the film version of Fiddler, doing "If I Were a Rich Man" -- take THAT, Gwen Stefani!

TANC: after Gaz praised their "You Can't Turn Me Off" last week, Judge plays High Inergy's "Shoulda Gone Dancin (Instead of Romancin')", NTM and a fine lost disco nugget.

Wow, DT just played The Byrds "Chestnut Mare".  Probably haven't heard this for 30 yrs.

TANC: I heard it on KCDX last week and on WMIR this morning! But yeah, it's a wonderful track that was an absolute staple of the FM rock stations I grew up on, and which has been completely forgotten by mainstream "Classic Rock" radio stations.

5:29pm   CHESTNUT MARE by BYRDS
5:34pm   SENTIMENTAL LADY by FLEETWOOD MAC
5:39pm   STORMY MONDAY by ALLMAN BROTHERS
5:47pm   DON'T BRING ME DOWN by ANIMALS
5:51pm   BLUE LIGHT by DAVID GILMOUR

Johnny Taylor (the natch'l wailer) is working on his "Love Bone" -- er, be sure to clean up afterwards, Johnny.
