CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 7/20/09

[RGMike]

KPOO's Marilynn did an all "dirty" show today, and she, er, climaxed with Isaac "Chef" Hayes and his "Chocolate Salty Balls"

[RGMike]

Judge plays Melba Moore's fab disco version of the BeeGees' "You Stepped Into My Life". Why was this not included on that "Soul of the BeeGees" compilation?

[RGMike]

Lawd! KPOO plays the Three Degrees' "Maybe". Short version, sadly (ah lurves the loooong spoken intro) but still a fab vocal.

[RGMike]

'LNG played a snippet of the 5th Dimension's orig version of "Worst That Could Happen"  -- Gaz, have you ever heard?

and now it's Vik Venus (aka Jack Spector) with "Moonflite"! LOL!

[Gazoo]

'LNG played a snippet of the 5th Dimension's orig version of "Worst That Could Happen"  -- Gaz, have you ever heard?

Only recently - a friend burned me the 5Ds' "Magic Garden" album or whatever it was called (I've since lent it to someone else).

[RGMike]

Twyla Herbert -- Lou Christie's longtime songwriting partner -- died last week at 80 (!) and 'LNG played a bit of an interview with Lou. I'd always heard he was gay (he was Lesley Gore's "escort" on many occasions before she came out), but now I'm convinced.

[RGMike]

OMGWTF -- Gale Storm (who recently died) doing the "white" version of "I Hear You Knockin" -- badly. Sounds like she's doing a bad Mae West imitation.

[RGMike]

Ah don't know much  -- but ah know that the BoxTops' "Soul Deep" is a highlight of any day. and 'LNG comes thru as always. Ah know darn well -- ah can tell!

Followed by yet another OMGWTF rare find: Frank Wilson, "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)", a Motown rarity that's apparently one of the most sought-after "Northern Soul" singles in the genre.

[RGMike]

'LNG plays another little-heard Mama Cass single (would that make it a Cassingle?): "Move in a Little Closer"

[RGMike]

'LNG just played the GrassRoots "Heaven Knows" -- I wish they'd followed it with the Box Tops' remarkably similar "Soul Deep".

[RGMike]

KPOO"s JJ plays the Ohio Players' "Jive Turkey" -- one I haven't heard in years.

[RGMike]

'LNG just played the GrassRoots "Heaven Knows" -- I wish they'd followed it with the Box Tops' remarkably similar "Soul Deep".

When I posted this on 7/23, I emailed Brian "the Cannon" Bannon at 'LNG to suggest the above segue.  I got an email today -- apparently he did it this afternoon... while I was listening to Judge on KPOO. Bummer.
