another NTM track on WDAS: the Whatnauts very faithful cover of the Tempts' "Message From a Black Man"

funkety-funk! KPOO's been playing JB this entire hour -- if he wasn't already dead I'd've thought he died.

WDAS in a mellow mood: Bobby W, "That's the Way I Feel Aboutcha", The Dells' fab "Love is Blue/Sing a Rainbow" medley, and Donny Hathaway with one of the very best of many many versions of Leon Russell's "Song For You".

2NG's retro chart is from Feb 1981; think I stick with this and avoid 1991 altogether.  Nice NTM reggae cover of the Police's "Bed's Too Big..." by Sheila Hylton:

and another reggae cover: Barbara Jones (who?) nicely Jamaica-fying Randy van Warmer's "Just When I Needed You Most"

proxy of sg: The Jam, "That's INTERtainment".

Holee crap: Boomtown Rats, "Elephant's Graveyard"

OMFG: Joe Dolce serenades Giselle Buenchen: "Shaddap You Face!"

Nice surprise on WDAS: Stevie's "I Am Singing", a deep cut from Songs in the Key...
