4 Aug 2010: it's... 1976
« on: August 03, 2010, 09:09:29 PM »
AL's clue is that it's the year Apple Computer, Inc was born.  And hey, we haven't had a "new" 1976 set since May.

More likely we'll hear it next Friday ;)

I asked for Southside Johnny, tho' AL may consider that too East Coast. SSJ&tAJs have, like, one appearance in the Morey era, for "Havin' a Party" in a Kaboom set or a Spring WingDing set or something.

That Frampton we avoided last week belatedly arrives.  Someone drop a cup while I submerge for 4 minutes.

I enjoy this song.  My band used to play it, and I saw Frampton coming alive at the Mountain Winery a few weeks ago.  He was great, and of course the crowd went wild when he used the Talkbox.

OMG! Miss Candi Staten Island! A KFOG bustout, methinks -- BOS for sheer fabulosity.

He was the T-Pain of his day.

more love here for Peter Frampton, who lives in Cleveland these days, I think.

Don't know this lady disco -- Young Hearts?  -- the voice sounds very familiar.  .. a little Gladys Knight-y, perhaps?

Big giggle for Mary Hartman's marital woes segue into the Miracles' "Love Machine".  BOS for the lot of it!

ETA: The super-looooong version!  Never heard this before.  Doesn't add all that much, though it does have a nice cheezy synth part.

Candi Staton - Young Hearts Run Free.  Her other hit was in 1970.
Frampton has lived outside Cincinnati for many years. Not sure how he ended up there, other than its more central for getting around the country for gigs, and the cost of living is low.

until One Eskimo sampled her  -- there are fab best-ofs for her on Amazon, which I posted about recently.

earth-quakin', soul-shakin' looooooooooong version of the Miracles' hit!

love machine, awesome.  more disco that that last Candi-ass song.  Har har.. (I keeed!  Candi's great..)

I almost borrowed a Mary Hartman DVD from the liberry, but I was afraid it wouldn't live up to the vague memory of coolness.  (I do have found memories of spinoff Fernwood Tonight, though.  I think that would still be funny.)
