week of 8/1 - 8/5
« on: August 03, 2005, 02:51:52 PM »
seems every day this week I've heard something I haven't heard in ages. Earlier today one of my Classic Country stations played Ray Stevens' "Misty", and now on WLNG it's "Shame Shame" by the Magic Lanterns -- the only record I ever saw score a 98 on American Bandstand's Rate-A-Record!

You've mentioned the AB stat before, and it's got me curious: What are the other top-ranked records that you can recall?  Conversely, what were the lowest-ranked?

Just heard a request for "The Congregation," "Softly Whispering I Love You."  I'd nearly forgot about the naming convention (they added the "English," I speculated, to avoid confusion with Mike Curb's Congregation).

To be honest I have little memory of other high/lows. I watched AB primarily in the summers of '68 and '69 and since most records got very average scores, the 98 for the MLs (an average of a 97 and a 99 I seem to recall) really stood out. Surely some geek somewhere on the internet has a page devoted to AB Rate-A-Record.

CG plays the orig Hot Choc version of "Brother Louie", which I've maybe heard once before.  A bit grittier than the Stories cover.

Ms Summer, "Dinner With Gershwin". Fab. Earlier in the week, Dean played her hookup with Stock/Aitken/Waterman, "This Time I Know it's For Real".

"Girls Are Out To Get You" by the Fascinations, a Northern Soul nugget I'd never heard -- did Greg say this was a Curtis Mayfield composition? Live'n'learn!

Maxine Nightingale!  Woo Hoo!
