CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 3/23/09

[RGMike]

Gladys makes yours a happy home and makes mine a happy Monday, courtesy of Judge on KPOO.

[RGMike]

OMGWTFOL-of-the-Week: Judge plays the Afternoon Delights, "General Hospi-tale", which I surely have not heard since it charted .

"Ah jus' can't cope
Without mah soap!"

[RGMike]

Judge just blew my mind with a clip of an interview Barry White gave to a British reporter in which he revealed himself to be an atheist.

Reporter: so you believe that when we die, there's no afterlife?

Barry: Over... Finished... That's IT.

I'm surprised and impressed.

[RGMike]

MJ and his brothas wanna sprinkle their love around you. Er, ewww.  But "I Am Love" is a highlight of the afternoon anyway.

[RGMike]

Holy crap! Another '80s nugget I have not heard in 25 years: Fonda Rae, "Over Like a Fat Rat"!

[RGMike]

NTM: the Bros Johnson in a mellowish mood, "Runnin' For Your Lovin'", from the same LP as "Strawberry Letter"

[RGMike]

The fab Four Tops, in one of their finest late-'70s perfs, say "Catfish makes my nature rise". I prefer salmon myself.

[RGMike]

Gearing up for an hour of JJ's '60s, but before he arrives we get the Whispers' fab disco take on Bread's "Make it With You".

[RGMike]

Lawdy! Jerry Butler, "What's the Use of Breakin' Up?"

[RGMike]

TANC: Mary Wells is torn between 2 lovers who happen to be one guy.

[RGMike]

Most ridiculous '60s nonsense-lyrics ever: the "shak-a-dool-ah"s the male chorus is singing on Lesley Gore's "She's a Fool".

[RGMike]

another OMGWTF courtesy of Bob Shannon on 'LNG: Bobby Womack's wildly soulful cover of "Fly me To The Moon"!

[Gazoo]

another OMGWTF courtesy of Bob Shannon on 'LNG: Bobby Womack's wildly soulful cover of "Fly me To The Moon"!

Which was nearly his first Top 40 hit; just barely missed IIRC.

[RGMike]

wow, 'LNG unearths Roger Miller's "Husbands & Wives".  An underappreciated genius, he was.

[RGMike]

Marilyn McCoo, ah LOVE you!  The 5-D are workin on a groovy thing.
