yay! Greg sitting in for Dean on the CG Jukebox.

and a comedy alert for Beej -- CG is premiering a new comedy-oriented Late Show today (2-5pm Pacific time) with a new (and presumably funny) host.

here's one I've never heard: Peter Skellern (who?) doing "You're a Lady" which was once a flop single for Tony Orlando.  Big hit in the UK in '72, apparently.

WLNG Nugget o' the Day: Cher! "The Way Of Love"!!

ETA: Oh by cracky, it's Neil Sedacky: "Run Samson Run", his country-tinged ode to the biblical muscleman. No wonder Neil & Elton became fast friends... :wink:

Lost gem on CG: "Forget Me Not", martha & the vandellas from '71, a Vietnam-era "you're going off to war, i'll wait for you" tune that didn't do much in the states.

Wed 8/24: CG's Greg plays "A Love Like Yours (Don't Come Knockin Every Day)" a  rare Ike & Tina track from '66. I have never heard this!

ETA: didn't happen. Maybe tomorrow

Thurs: Well, Greg never did play "Mull of Kintyre" but he did play the Seekers, "Morningtown Ride", a lovely little gem.

Isn't that the most bizarre dynamic for a song ever?  They're singing so emphatically yet so blase-ly at the same time, and I'm attracted to it in the same way that I'm attracted to outsider art.  Can someone make some sense of this for me?
