18.   The Beatles - The Beatles Movie Medley


whoever invented the "medley record" in the '80s should rot in hell.

But TANC -- Junior gets a BOS

16.   Natasha - Iko Iko
15.   Tight Fit - Fantasy Island


WTF?  this Natasha  thing is NTM, and it's *very* similar to the Belle Starrs version later in the decade.

Also NTM: Tight Fit with "Fantasy Island" -- Worst. ABBA. Imitation. Evah!

Miss Ross says "Work that Body", but the backup singers are doin' all the work on this track. Paging Jane Fonda.

ETA: Charlene tells the host that she had a daughter named Chadney (er... OK) and that Diana Ross liked the name so much she named HER daughter "Chudney" (!)

BOS3 Odyssey's fab "Inside Out", which got to #3 in the UK but shamefully didn't make it in the US.

and uber-BOS4 ABC's still-stunning "Look of Love". Sistahs and brothas!

after a long delay -- the CG player crapped out and I had to restart the show from the beginning! -- here are 2 more BOS's: Kid Creole's "I'm a Wonderful Thing" and Soft Cell's little-heard "Torch".

WTF-of-the-Day: the Impressions, "I Can't Satisfy" which 'LNG just played. NTM, and damned if it ain't a rip-off of the Isley's "This Old Heart of Mine" -- apparently Motown sued and Curtis Mayfield had to share songwriting credit!  Check it out:

always a treat: 'LNG plays Rose Garden's fab OHW "Next Plane To London". Lead singer sounds kinda like Amy Indigo Girl.

the guy's got an archive of podcasts that I can't wait to dive into:

http://funky16corners.wordpress.com/funky16corners-podcast-archive/

I'm sampling the wares and so far I'm impressed. Highly recommend the podcasts he calls "S.O.S. Heart in Distress", and "Bold Soul Sisters", all mostly-obscure female '60s soul.

TANC: one of the tracks on the "Bold Soul Sisters" podcast is a Brenda & the Tabulations obscurity called "Scuze Us, Y'all"  -- and the label it was on was called Top & Bottom Records!  And speaking of Top & Bottom, here's Cold Blood's "You Got Me Hummin'", on the San Francisco label.

This blog guy has a number of R&B-Beatle-covers podcasts, and I'm hearing Li'l Junior Parker ("a cousin 'o mine...") doing a real interesting version of "Tomorrow Never Knows" -- not a Beatle tune that gets covered much.

OTOH, here's Bill Cosby desecrating "Sgt Pepper". Yikes.

catching the tail-end of KPOO's Thurday-morning R&B Oldies show (9a-11a, I usually forget it's on) and get "Does Your Mama  Know About Me?" followed by "I've Passed This way Before".  Gotta check this out more often.

oh my! 'LNG gives us the Classics IV's underrated, forgotten last hit: "Every Day With You Girl". Love that sax!
