Not a bad showing so far. BOS CCR, Raspberries, and GFR, stayin' up all night with Freddie King.

I always thought it was Frank King... which certainly scans better (one less syllable)


Pretty sure it's Freddy. Several lyric sites and wikipedia all concur:

Out on the road for forty days
Last night in Little Rock, put me in a haze
Sweet, sweet Connie was doin' her act
She had the whole show and that's a natural fact

Up all night with Freddie King
I got to tell you, poker's his thing
Booze and ladies, keep me right
As long as we can make it to the show tonight

oh I know... I went to Top40 db before I posted. But amazingly this was the first time I ever became aware of the discrepancy/m'green.

We're diggin' into the cheeze--Still the One, which would be fodder for a thousand TV commercials.

Hope they held onto their publishing!

Is this the 2nd time AL has played disco Star Wars?  VHM anyway -- cheeze factor just surged.

Star Wars takes me back, I saw it in the first couple days before it became a phenomenon.  Back then movies, at least in St. Louis, usually opened on Wed.

ooooh that chartbusters guy is like fingernails on chalkboard, but LRB is a very soothing antidote.  BOS #2.

agreed on Mr Voiceover Guy -- yeesh.  LRB would be more welcome had I not heard it on Klassic Kasem this wknd. But at least this is the full version, not the bad edit Casey played.

I was just gonna say that I don't think the version that charted had the trumpet solo.  But you know I loves me some trumpet solos.
