CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 8/31/09

[RGMike]

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.

[RGMike]

a NTM Move track, "Curly", inspired me to buy a Very Best of the Move CD from Amazon.

[RGMike]

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"

[RGMike]

    

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.

[RGMike]

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.

[RGMike]

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.
