Judge is in disco mode. But no idea who this "Gotta keep dancing" song is.
-
ah believe in da boogie -- but da boogie don't believe in me! Judge plays the orig version by Brainstorm.
-
Lou Rawls and the Philly Int'l All-Stars, cleanin' up the ghetto! "The rats, the roaches and the waterbugs --- they was HUSTLIN', baby!"

There was another version? All I know is the Brainstorm. My friend Adrian once declared of it, owing to its relentlessness: "This is what cocaine sounds like."

Sylvester & the Two Tons covered it.

Judge keeps his Best of the Trammps close at hand today: earlier, "Livin' on the Dark Side of the Moon", and now "Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?", about the NYC blackout of '77.
-
Judge spins an endless 12" version of a faux-Motown medley with Smokey soundalikes etc. It's from long before Stars on 45 was the rage.
-
OMFG! The Pointer Sisters doing "The Number Song" from Sesame Street!

Would that be the pre-Jody Watley Shalimar?

Yup -- I always get this Shalimar medley ("Uptown Festival") confused with the Richie Family's "Best Disco in Town". I played both to death in my college Top 40 days. As you may know, the record was a Don Cornelius project (on Soul Train Records) and afterwards he put a group together (Watley, Howard Hewitt, etc) so the name wouldn't go to waste.

I didn't know those origins - thanks!
BTW, this weekend I caught an old Soul Train ep with the then four-piece Pointer Sisters doing some Staples-sounding thing that wasn't a hit. (I forget what it was.)

Rocking out with Sweeney on CG -- just heard a very good segue from Queen's "Tie Your Mother Down" to Simple Minds' "Waterfront".
-
No turkeys on WLNG: here's Carole King's "Been to Canaan", one of her loveliest melodies, and this shoulda been a much bigger hit. Haven't heard it since "I can't remember when.."
-
Only WLNG could follow JB's "Mother Popcorn" with the Marketts' "Batman Theme". na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na --- Batman!

Casey countin' 'em down this weekend: (It's Nov. 20, 1976.)
At #30: Salsoul Orchestra, "Nice 'n' Naasty" (!)
At #29: Engelbert Humperdinck, "After the Loving" (!!)
And a bonus: Debuting at #89, Mary McGregor, "Torn Between Two Lovers." Still one of the most I-can't-believe-this-hit-No.-1 No. 1 hits of all time.
-
OMGWTF: I'd never heard the Ritchie Family's "Best Disco in Town" and didn't realize it was a monster medley of the previous months' disco hits!
-
The top of this chart:
4. Captain & Tennille, "Muskrat Love"
3. Bee Gees, "Love So Right"
2. Gordon Lightfoot, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"
1. Rod Stewart, "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)"

TANC: now ya know why I confuse it with the Shalamar medley.
Yes, I set the alarm for 6am and heard the whole thing. The Salsoul Orch hit was a major flashback too -- I surely had not heard it since '76. Ditto Ringo's "Dose of Rock'n'Roll", Whinyface Elliman's "Love Me" (a fab BeeGees compostion), and Botkin/DeVorzon's "Nadia's theme". Throw in "Beth", "Disco Duck", and the aforementioned "Muskrat Love" and this was quite the cheezefest.

Gotta give props to a fine 9:00 hour on KPIG today. Among other goodies, I heard:
Marty Stewart doing a bluegrass cover of "I Can See For Miles"
The Austin Lounge Lizard's great bluegrass version of the Floyd's "Brain Damage"
Peter Paul & Mary's "The Great Mandala", which I had not heard in many many years -- what a powerful song.
-
Before we move on to another week, gotta give props to 2 great Sun nite shows:
Little Steven's annual salute to Cleveland and all things Ohio was fab, everything from (of course) "Cleveland Rocks" to the Pretenders to the Euclid Beach Band, and including a segment on Cleveland International Records that featured Ronnie Spector w/the E-Streeters doing "Say Goodbye to H'wood".
But that was followed by Joel Selvin, who did an hour on all-star charity singles from the past 20 years. Band Aid, Hear'n'Aid, Ferry Aid, the works. Ran the gamut from the great ("Sun City") to the horrendous ("Voices that Care") to the in-between (Sean Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance" reboot). An inspired theme show.
