Judge plays Grandmaster Flash's "Freedom" which I haven't heard in many a moon.
"the bread to the butter
and the butter to the bread
Don't be misled
by what I said"
-
It's Sefra and Sue! Every girl that ah knew! Jacksons and "Heartbreak Hotel", later re-titled "ThisPlace Hotel" for reasons that make no sense to me (you can't copyright a song title).
-
JJ gives us Joe Tex, "The Letter Song", which is NTM, and then the Parliaments "I wanna Testify" which I never tire of.
-
Lawd! the Tymes' fab upbeat-and-soulful cover of "People" beats Streisand all to heck.
-
something of a Gaz twin-spin: Paul Revere & the Raiders' "Him or Me", a Byrds-y Terry Melcher composition (he went to work with PR&tRs after the Byrds ditched him), followed by the 5-D and "Aquarius".
-
'LNG makes my day with "You Gotta Be Loved", truly one of my top ten shoulda-beens. Sunshine for everybody! And it's followed by my fave forgotten TJ & the Shondells hit, "Mirage", and Gladys and the Pips comin' to the end of their road -- she gots to give you the lowdown!
-
OMG! Little Peggy March's "Hello Heartache, Goodbye Love", her soundalike follow-up to "I Will Follow Him".
-
my fave forgotten TJ & the Shondells hit, "Mirage"
I like that one too - urban legend says he just played "I Think We're Alone Now" backwards to come up with the riff - but the one I like even better is "Get Out Now." One thing I love about TJ is that most of his songs' BPM is roughly equal to my jogging speed, making him ideal for my running mixes.

It's also similar to Wind's TJ-meets-the-4 Seasons "Make Believe", which I though was the Shondells for many years, until Joan Jett's cover came along.
-
OMFG! it's "Park" songs today on 'LNG: earlier, "Cherry Hill park", and here's Keith Barbour's "Echo Park", a NeilDiamond-y hit from late '69 that I've always loved.
-
2 spectacular productions back-to-back: Neil Diamond's "Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show" (say hallelujah!) and the 4 Seasons' fabulous arrangement of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow".
-
I'm not a big Ronnie Milsap fan, but his "It Was Almost Like a Song" from '77 is one of the best imitation-Manilow records of that period, right up there with Rex Smith's "You Take My Breath Away". (oddly, Barry M didn't do either of these on his covers albums)

Ronnie would go on to collaborate with Barry on a song a few years later, one I'm sure only I remember: "Put a Quarter in the Jukebox."

Can't say I know that one -- but in '78 he had a B-side called "Santa Barbara" that got quite a bit of country airplay in NYC, and which was also Manilow-esque, being a West Coast doppelganger for "Weekend in New England".
-
TANC: 'LNG plays not one but 2 records Gaz has dissed recently (and deservedly): Elvis karaoke-covers Dusty; Neil Diamond loses his virginity to "Desiree"
-
Kenny Rogers finds his mind in a brown paper bag again. Yeah, yeah...ohhhh yeaaaaah.
-
OMGWTFLOL-of-the-day: Herman's Hermits' dee-lite-ful "Dandy", a Ray Davies compo.
"2 girls are too many, 3's a crowd and 4 you're dead!"

I've had HEART UK playing in the background since 10@10 ended. Groovin to the disco! Yay! Helps me stay upbeat as I send out resume after resume. ;D
1-2-3 shake your body down. Hey some good whistle action here.
-
yay hay, more disco, Bee Gee style. Stayin Alive. Stayin Alive

They're a once-a-month listen for me; they quite literally play the same songs every week (unlike Greg's late lamented CGSS) so I try not to overdo it. BTW I saw a post on a UK Radio message board from someone who saw Greg at one of his live club appearances in Dec, and he supposedly said "be on the lookout for an announcement in Jan" about a new radio gig. But so far, nada.

Carly gavottes on a yacht yet again.
"You said that we made such a pretty pair..."
Actually Carly made a pretty pair all by herself:

another Gaz-tastically sunshiny vocal perf: Peppermint Rainbow, "Will You Be Staying After Sunday?" You coulda told me this was the Seekers and I'd've totally believed you.

Wow, I'm so glad I got to see the creme de menthe outfits! To my ears, though, they were pure Spanky & Our Gang. Gawds, I love Big Voices.
-
One of my fave only-from-JJ lost hits: Kellee Patterson's 1977 "If it Don't Fit, Don't Force it" -- gee, think this got played in gay discos? (and yes, Leon Haywood totally ripped this off 3 years later with "Don't Push it, Don't Force It".)
-
New Birth (or "noo burf" as JJ pronounces it) want somethin' sweet as a candy bar -- and I Can Understand It. I thought this was Bobby Womack for the longest time.

TANC: 3 songs later, Bobby W his ownself shows up with "Nobody Wants You When You're Down and Out". and Lawd! here's DeeDee Sharp-Gamble with her wonderful Nancy Wilson-ish cover of "I'm Not In Love". Loveliness is next to Godley-and-Cremely-ness.
-
That rare Temptations song that's actually NTM: 1977's "In a Lifetime", with Glenn Leonard doing a fine Eddie Kendricks imitation. This one never even charted Pop!
and OMGWTFLOL-of-the-night: the 5th Dimension's version of "Love Hangover"! As I've said before, it's very similar to Diana's -- it's as if the Misses Ross and McCoo both copied from the same demo. Don't call the doctah! don't call the preachah!
Also NTM: John Edwards (not the former Senator) with "Careful Man" from 1974. (Come to think of it, if the *other* John Edwards had been a careful man... ) BTW, this is the John Edwards who later replaced Phillippe Wynne in the Spinners.

Loveliness is next to Godley-and-Cremely-ness.
Hee, this is one of your better lines.
But re "Love Hangover," hadn't Marilyn McCoo left the 5D by that point?

entirely possible (Whitburn just says she and BD2 also recorded as a duo beginning in '76); whoever it is singing lead, she's using the exact same inflections as La Ross.
