Margo Thunder (who?) doing a soulful, more-than-passable cover of "Expressway to Your Heart"

Turns out she was a member of the trio 9.9 (9.9 being "almost a 10", har har), which was Richard "Dimples" Fields' answer to Vanity 6 and the Mary Jane Girls.

JJ starts my day with the J-5's "Maybe Tomorrow" and Candi Staten Island bein' called babybabybaby all nite long.

[RGMike]

NTM: John Lee Hooker's radical re-interp of "I Left My Heart in SF". 

"Mah heart is THERE! HIGH! On a HILL!"

[RGMike]

back to the Boardwalk in time for Gladys/Pips' "Bourgie Bourgie" -- the only other place I've ever heard this was on CG.

So ... did she have papers on him?

"and you can take yo' raggedy little component set -- that NEVAH worked! -- and you can SCAT!" My fave spoken-word passage in a song EVAH.  Better than Oran "juice"Jones, even.

lawd, I haven't heard "Street Dance" by Break Machine since the mid-'80s.

Radio de Sebb on a roll: Swingout Sister's fab "Breakout", Ms Summer disco-izing Barry M., and Betty Everett's orig version of "You're No Good".

Find of the Day, courtesy Radio de Sebb: Lou Rawls covering Paul Davis' "I Go Crazy". NTM -- no idea when this was released.

I was listening to that too!  Didn't recognize the voice as Sweet Lou.

LAWD! back to Radio de Sebb in time for Sharon Jones "This Land is Your Land", which always makes my day.

Magnificent segue on Radio de Sebb just now: some NTM shouter that was mostly "Gang-gang-gang" repetitions with a few lines about "Blues ain't nothin' but a good woman gone bad!" followed by Gwen Guthrie's "Ain't Nothin' Goin' On but the Rent."

No romance without finance!

I'm doing The Boardwalk this afternoon, but glad you're enjoying R de S -- they can be quite amazing.

Where we live, where we live: the aforementioned Lou Rawls and his phellow Philly Att-Stars urge their listeners to clean up the ghetto.  Fell on deaf ears and dead charts, it seems.

Just heard a phenomenal NTM tune: "Am I Black Enough for You?"  Googled to find out who it was - Larry Grogan came up first, with his take on the Billy Paul song: http://funky16corners.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/billy-paul-am-i-black-enough-for-you/

What a great clavinet opening. I adore that instrument.  Does anyone still bother with it?

doesn't your R de S player ID the artists? Mine does.
