got back in time to hear Judge play Tony Toni Tone, "Hey Little Walter" a great forgotten 45.
-
CG plays Labi Siffre's superbly inspirational "Something Inside So Strong", a UK hit in the '80s that was improbably covered by Kenny Rogers in the states.
Here's the orig:

ooo-la! a Queen rarity: "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy".
-
OMFG-of-the-Day: John Denver, "Annie's Song".
-
A new wave two-fer: "Town Called Malice" followed by the Motors' fab forgotten "Airport".
-
wow -- solo Colin Blunstone from 1972: "Say You Don't Mind". New to me.

Highlight (so far) of CG's retro-chart countdown from early 1987: Carly Simon's "Coming Around Again", ignored by the Academy and far superior to the song she *did* win an Oscar for a couple years later. Here's the Chart, BTW:

"there's no hope for the hungry child whose Joker is wild" Huh?
Blow Monkeys and their soundalike "Digging Your Scene" followup, "It Doesn't Have to be That Way" (NOT the Jim Croce song).
-
jeezus -- new to me, "Male Stripper" by Man-2-Man Meets Man Parrish.

Hoo lawd! Ree-Ree and Georgy Porgy, "I Knew You Were Waiting", a truly fab single.
-
CGSS's Greg played Lamont Dozier's "Why Can't We Be Lovers", per a listener request. The listener described the original 45 of the song that she owned back in the day, "There was a blue label and grey lettering on my original 7-inch". To which Greg replied, "There's no lettering on *MY* original 7-inch, baby!" :o :o :o

"If you make out
the very first night
just make sure
you got your game tight"
The Impressions with "First Impressions", one for the short list of song titles that contain the name of the artist.

I think The The have one or two of those.
-
Good news: after being down for several months, the KCDX stream is back. And Steve Forbert's "You Cannot Win if You Do Not Play" is the first song I hear.
-
CGSS plays the Trammps fab "Where Do We Go From Here", an early (pre-Atlantic) single that's totally Philly -- you can imagine the Three Degrees doing a swell cover of this.
-
Kasey's Kountdown: Feb 1st 1975. Fab so far -- this is a sledgehammer-laden chart for me; an emotionally confusing time in my life.
Yikes, they're giving us "Chevy van" as an extra. And it's followed by paul Anka and Odia Coates, "One Man Woman (Two-timin' Man)" OMFG!

Back at #40 we had really obscure Temps -- "Happy People." I slept from 35 through 21, unfortunately, but got to hear Mac Davis's "Rock & Roll (I Gave You the Best Years of My Life)." And, of course, "One Man Woman / One Woman Man." Did people not mind that Anka has such a smarmy, colorless voice?
-
Casey gives Clifton Davis his props as "Never Can Say Goodbye" charts for the 3rd time, via Ms Gaynor.

What was "That's My Mama"?

Once you've done "You're havin My baby", smarminess becomes beside-the-point ;)

An early "black" sitcom. Mr Davis as a batchelor with a sassy fat mother. I kid you not.

OMG! Carol Douglas. "oh please! PLEASE! Come on home!"
-
Monti Rock III -- talk show queen (and ah DO mean QUEEN!)
"come on Hollywood Rona Barret we need you!"
-
Grand Funk don' need a whole lotsa money. But they got it anyway. Heroin -- it's a helluva drug, right Mr Farner?
-
Back in the late '70s, we had the Eagles' 1971-75 GH on 8-track. "Best of My Love" got caught between programs, and so as it got to "we could never rise above ..." the track would rapidly fade - CLICK - and then proceed. I still hear the false ending and the click in my head today when I hear this.
-
I discovered during last Saturday's countdown that Donny Osmond appeared on about 30 Top 40 hits between '71 and '75. Crazy!
-
Donny & Marie get Best Forgotten Cheeze of the Morning -- and that's saying something, given this chart. And -- swoon -- here's "Mandy"!
-
Karen and Richard at their absolute White-est!
-
I had to switch over to KFOG ("Closer to Home") while Karen (and perhaps Richard too) wait for a special delivery.

smart move.
-
Ms Ronstadt's fab "You're No Good". Not bad for an LP she recorded to satisfy a contract she thought was finished.
-
And at #1: "Movin' Out (Neil Sedaka's Song)" aka "Laughter in the Rain".
-
I have no need to hear Dave's 1981 set again, so I'm WBGO-ing until CGSS time.

And I'm off to some Super Bowling (as in, throwing a few frames) before resuming work. Good hanging out!

Felix on WBGO plays one of my fave forgotten Motown goodies, "My Baby Must Be a Magician".
"mah baby mus' be a mortician
'cause she sho' nuff makes me stiff"

Sadly, you missed Love Unltd's "I Belong To You", Joni's "Big Yellow Taxi (Live)", Mr Valli's "My Eyes Adored You (But My Nose Abhorred You)", Jim Stafford's "Your Bulldog Drinks Champagne" (which sounds like it would've made a great follow-up to "The No-No Song" for Ringo), and a long-forgotten Billy Preston instrumental, "Struttin'". I meant to mention this morning what a treat George's "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" was -- rock stations used to play it every New Years, but it has completely faded into obscurity.
And Casey remarked that the nucleus of Styx started out as The Trade Winds of "NY's a Lonely Town" fame but Whitburn's bios of both acts make no mention of it. BTW, we just missed out on hearing ONJ 3 weeks in a row: "Have You Never Been Mellow" was just outside the Top 40.

"Baby is an awful lot like me": Melissa Manchester replaces Tom Petty as my halftime entertainment.

"Baby is an awful lot like me": Melissa Manchester replaces Tom Petty as my halftime entertainment.
One of those great late-'70s/early-'80s "how come Barry Manilow didn't record this one?" singles. Rex Smith's "You Take My Breath Away" being the pinnacle of that sub-genre.

Would you go as far as "Never Gonna Let You Go" or "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You" for that?
Meantime, Barry Scott winds things down in a smoove way with Major Harris's "Love Won't Let Me Wait."
-
Usually, WODS follows Barry Scott up with an old Wolfman Jack rebroadcast. Tonight, though, it's AT40! Same countdown as yesterday morning, so I'll get those songs after all!

Hmmm... yeah, I can totally imagine a Barry-style version of either of those, tho' neither is a Manilow imitation (The Manchester and the Smith come closer to that). There's another from that era that's on the tip of my tongue, but I'm blanking right now. And of course Ray Stevens' "I Need Your Help Barry Manilow" skewers 'em all, brilliantly.
And glad to hear 'ODS has picked up AT40, now I can sleep later on Saturday if I want to. I wish someone in SF would pick up the '80s version, I'd love to hear some of those too.
-
Particular pleasure for me: Carole King's "Nightingale." I wish people still wrote songs like this.
-
"Coming up: The Beatles' favorite organ player." I didn't know Brian Epstein had a posthumous chart hit!
