CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 7/13/09
« on: July 13, 2009, 11:20:23 AM »
KPOO's Marilynn is off today, so we're getting some of her "greatest hits". Highlight: Les McCann/Eddie Harris "Compared to What?"

"Possession is the motivation
that is hangin' up the God-damn nation!"

and now Ella's on the A-train.

Listening to the UK replay of Little Steven -- he's into his semi-annual Joe Meek tribute.  Backward toilet-flushing is so cool!

Steven's "Coolest Song in the World" this week: the latest from the Cocktail Slippers, "You Do Run Run", Spectorian reference intentional.

and continuing the girl-group theme, Steven plays "My One and Only Jimmy Boy", a lost nugget by the Girlfriends (2 Blossoms and an Ikette, sez Steven),  which shoulda been a much bigger hit. Written and produced by... David Gates!

Over to KPOO for some of Judge's Monday merriment. "Hey There Little Firefly" by, er, Firefly.

Followed by smooth Smokey, creating an entire radio format with "Quiet Storm" (if only he'd known!)

more from the Dept of Redundancy Dept: the Soul Train Gang doing the rather monotonous "Soul Train '75".

Judge is doing an extended salute to the Sylvers -- "Cotton Candy", which missed the pop Top 40, is NTM.

We're getting some Sylvers ballads that are also NTM -- and very similar to what DeBarge would be doing a few years later.

If memory serves, that was a pre-fame Kenny Nolan behind that.

You are correct sir! It was also done by Disco Texx (which i didn't know!) but the Firefly version is the one I remember. Thought of as a "disco song" but really more in the "Soulful Strut" vein.

Is that the same Robert John that did Sad Eyes over on The Sound earlier this morning? Always wondered if they were one and the same.
Let's get right to it.

Yup -- hence the TANC!
