Judge gives us more Jarreau hands -- Al's cover of Leon Russell's "Rainbow in Your Eyes". NTM and quite nice.
-
Lawd! Slick Rick is bustin' out of this L-7 square, y'alls!
-
Judge begins an hour of Stevie with "Smile Please", from Fulfillingness... -- I have not heard this song in eons.
Followed by "Jesus Children of America"! lawd have mercy!
Tell me holy
Holy roller
Are you standing
Like a soldier?
Are you standing for everything you talk about?
-
"Golden Lady"! Judge is concentrating on '72-'74, and I'm in Stevie heaven (and it's not 10 zillion light years away). "Too High" indeed!
-
"Where Were You When I Needed You, Last Winter...m'love?"
-
I'm in Stevie heaven (and it's not 10 zillion light years away)
and here's that song. What a fab hour this was.
And we close with "All In Love Is Fair". *swoon*

The custom player on their site can be weird, but have you tried putting this addr into the WMP? http://66.134.90.174:8080

JJ plays the orig "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" -- not sure who this is, but it was covered (or desecrated, depending on yer POV) by the Blues Bros.
ETA: Solomon Burke
followed by smooth Smokey, "My Girl has Gone"
-
Hey Diana: Eddie's gonna do all the things for you a girl wants a man to do. Like... sing falsetto?

I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it! Oh, let's DIG it! Baby!
and continuing the theme of instrumentals with lyrics... Barbara Acklin's "Am I The Same Girl", aka "Soulful Strut" with words.
-
left-field choice of the day: the Shirelles' cover of "Everybody Loves a Lover' -- so, they were Doris Day fans ???
-
Bob Shannon doing an Ellie Greenwich tribute on 'LNG. KPOO's oldies guy did the same last nite. More versions of "Doo Wah Diddy" than you can shake a stick at.
And I either never knew (or totally forgot) that she sings back-up on ELO's "Evil Woman"!
-

i heard this, but didn't really dig it.
Bobby Spider Webb just played some 12 bar blues song by possibly BB King. the key lyric:
"baby, I love the way you're stacked in back"
-- the narrator also explained "it must be jelly, 'cause jam don't shake that much."
:)

Badonkadonk! Do fries go with that shake?

Wow, one of my very favorite Stevie songs. A deceptively difficult vocal.

Babs did a nice version that, sadly, flopped as a single.
-
'LNG's Greenwich tribute continues: Tina sings about the only doll she ever owned.

-
yikes -- Buckner & Garcia, "Pac-Man Fever" -- barely a notch above "The Curly Shuffle" on the '80s Novelty Record evolutionary scale.
but it's followed by Bobby Goldsboro's finest hour: the before-he-discovered-smarminess "Little Things", which sounds like Johnny Rivers-meets-Neil Diamond
-
Ha! 'LNG plays Daniel Boone's "Beautiful Sunday" -- in German! Ja wohl!
-
holy crap! 'LNG unearths a NTM Andy Williams obscurity, "Ain't it True".
-
Marvin don't see Marvin in his mirror -- he sees "You". Wonder if Gladys covered this one? She shoulda.
-
new radio discovery, Offshore Music Radio, a tribute of sorts to the UK radio pirates of old.
http://loudcity.com/stations/offshore-music-radio/files/show/listen.htm
despite that huge pageful of links, most would not work for me; except this one
http://www.bitsmitter.com:8004
which opens a Real player, and this one
http://65.60.32.4:8004
which you can paste into a WMP. (both are mono, sadly) Just heard OC Smith's "Son of Hickory Holler's Tramp" which was a treat, and here's Donna Summer's Dr Buzzard knockoff, "I Remember Yesterday" .
-
quite a range of nuggets on this "Offshore" thing. Sheila B Devotion doing a (NTM) cheezy Eurodisco rendition of "Singin' in the Rain", followed by Candlewick Green's orig version of "Who Do You Think You Are?", which Bo Donaldson covered note-for-note. And now -- holy crap! -- Hedgehoppers Anonymous, "It's Good News Week"
-
also NTM: Martha/Vandellas "Joy in the Morning" -- no surprise, tho', as those Northern Soul-loving Brits know more obscure Motown numbers than anybody.
-
nicest surprise on this UK "Offshore Radio" thingy: Donovan's "Universal Soldier". Still a superb song.
-
back to UK "Offshoe Radio" in time for the Adverts, "Gary Gilmore's Eyes"!
-
ooo! "Sad Sweet Dreamer"! This one always makes my day.
-
Candlewick Green's orig version of "Who Do You Think You Are?", which Bo Donaldson covered note-for-note.
Slightly more complicated than that, I learned recently. Turns out the song was written by the leader of Jigsaw. They recorded it, then gave it to Candlewick Green, who did it more literally note-for-note. Afterward BD&tH took a crack at it, changing almost nothing.
Jigsaw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjriWGxk7Ps
Candlewick Green: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evZbeUAMoYg
Bo Donaldson & the Heywoods: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djFPS9ysSeY
But how's this for missed opportunity: Imagine Dusty Springfield singing this song.

oh my yes -- and TANC (as well as OMGWTF): Offshore radio just played the Merseybeats UK hit version of "Wishin' & Hopin'" -- NTM and rather generically Liverpudlian.
and it's followed by Sweet's "Wig-Wham Bam" -- thank you ma'am!
-
another lost UK gem: Dave Davies, "Death of a Clown". I cannot recommend this Offshore Radio feed more highly -- 2/3 of the songs are either NTM or UK-only rarities that never really crossed the pond.
-
a NTM Move track, "Curly", inspired me to buy a Very Best of the Move CD from Amazon.
-
yee haw! Highlight of the afternoon: "Harper Valley PTA" -- those small-town hypocrites are now running the GOP.
ETA: talk about range -- it's followed by Sergio Mendes, "Mas Que Nada"
-
:o :o :o
Ella Fitzgerald's cover of "Get Ready"! My jaw is in pieces on the floor.
and it remains there for -- TANC-of-the-Week -- Manfred Mann's "My Name is Jack", which I was just jonesing for the other day.
-
JJ plays The Fuzz...
**WHICH MEANS**
it's hard to explain my love's seasonal change. Or why they only had one hit.
Not so TOP, whose "This Time It's Real" is a lost gem; the follow-up to "So Very Hard to Go", it shamefully peaked at #65 pop.
-
LAWD! Rufus/Chaka doing their cover of "Jive Talkin'". Can Candi Staton's "Nights On B'way" be far behind?
-

Anything else to seek out from them?

Their only other charted singles, neither of which I've heard: "Like an Open Door" (which was an R&B hit, at least, getting to #14 Soul) and "I'm So Glad" which I'm guessing is the Curtis Mayfield song. I'll have to pursue these on the Tubes of You next week.
