obviously, WLNG is where I go to hear the unexpected, but I truly wasn't expecting Ms Baez's "Diamonds & Rust". A fabulous treat.

Have you ever heard Judas Priest's cover?  Halford can sing his ass off, but man does he misread and massacre that one.

He sings his ass off with his ass hanging out, usually. Does he think it's about leather chaps studded with diamonds and rusty metal?

JJ on KPOO plays Peter Brown's "Dance With Me" and says Betty Wright is singing backup -- a bit o' trivia that's NTM.

Also NTM: Natalie Cole goes disco on "Party Lights" (NOT the Claudine Clark hit) from late '77.  But the Blackbyrds' "Happy Music" is an unjustly forgotten hit from '76 that actually made the Pop Top 20.

JJ makes it very difficult to go to bed early on Sat nite.

LAWD! Etta James covering "You Can Leave Your Hat On" in 1974 -- a dozen years before Joe Cocker tried it.
