Lawd! Judge kicks off 1972 with Dennis Coffey's "Taurus" rather than the more-often-heard "Scorpio"-- and this taurus is lovin' it.
-
Holy crap! a twin-spin by The Soul Children, including "Don't Take My Kindness for Weakness"!
-
peak Blaxploitation year: we've gotten trailers for Slaughter (and its little-heard theme song by Billy Preston!) and now Superfly.
And now Glodean and the girls are trying to get out of the rain. Call Barry!
followed by very early EWF -- NTM
-
Lamont Dozier's fab "Why can't We Be Lovers?" and Luther Ingram's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" rip-off "Shelter".
-
"Pass the Peas": one of the many JB-offshoots of the period. Fred Wesley? Bobby Byrd? dunno. But it's fonky and it's about food -- who could ask for mo'?
-
Betty Wright's "Babysitter" -- a "Clean-Up Woman" retread, but all retreads should be this enjoyable.
and now JB his own damn self, like a dull knife -- jus' ain't cuttin'! "Talkin' Loud And Sayin' Nothin'". And we're into the #1's and near-misses of '72. Honey Cone's "Day I Found Myself" is one of the latter. Look atchoo foolin' you! Sly's "Runnin' Away" to get away... from the department of redundancy department.

well then, Ree-Ree, he won't starve, that's fo' sho'!
OMG! Mille Jackson's uber-fab "Ask Me What You Want" makes my afternoon.

rarely-heard Jr Walker -- one of his last charted hits: "Walk in the Night". And Bobby W knows a woman gotta have it.

may be factual, may be cruel: Cuba Sr. plays da fool.
Lyn Collins -- the Female Preacher! -- with the destined-to-be-sampled "Think".
(http://www.thefunkstore.com/VinylLps/March2005/Lp-LynnCollinsThink12Inch.jpg)
and Mel & Tim with the destined-to--be-covered by H&O "Starting All Over Again".
-
NTM rarity-of-the-week: the Ramrods, "Hot Potato" -- the original (pre-MFSB) theme from Soul Train (!)
-
Awwww...

Lawd! the Isleys with the orig version of "Work to Do", which AWB would cover 2 years later.
and Judge closes eversotastefully with Billy Paul.

Wonder if the "Your Song" on the B-side is indeed an EJ cover.

NTM on JJ's '60s hour: a decidedly Vegas-y cover of "Dock of the Day" by the Dells.
-
Apparently unlimited Beatles album streaming here:

Doubt this will be up for long - there's no way they have the auths in order.
-
Highlight of an hour spent with the KYA tribute feed: Harper's Bizarre, "Come To the Sunshine", no doubt a Gaz sunshine-pop fave, and more famous as a shampoo commercial than as a hit single.
Followed by Roy Head's "Treat Her Right" -- the KYA site lists it as "Roy Head and the Traits", which I misread as "Roy Head and the Taint" LOL!

Dat's wicker-ty wack, yo.

ooo! Strawberry Alarm Clock's *other* hit, "Tomorrow". Bubblegum psychedelia meets sunshine pop.

Actually, you do -- like it or not. Just check yesterday's election results.
"buildings to the sky
that make us want to fly"
I always wondered if that was actually a suicide reference.

Frankie Valli is "Swearin' to God", but the backup singers say "don't tell the angels". Er, huh?
"No one gets me up there like you can
But you have a nose like a toucan"

my FB buddy Brian Bannon at WLNG asked me for a song suggestion -- he always closes his show with an '80s tune. So I said "Walk the Dinosaur", and we'll be hearing it today at 2:55 Pacific time.

Obscurity of the week: The Jet Stream, "All's Quiet on West 23rd" -- 1967, a song inspired by the Kitty Genovese murder in NY. A bit of "For What it's Worth" in the melody; sounds kinda like Joey Levine of the Ohio Express on vocals.

I'm sure you're right: if you squint you can see a "J. Levine" in the songwriting credit on the label. I imagine this served as a template for Rupert Holmes/Sunshine People's "Jennifer Tomkins."
