DJ Marilynn is giving us live Lou Rawls. "St. James Infirmary"!
-
Judge in a mellow mood (so far): Stevie's "Golden Lady" takes me right away.

That was indeed sweet, but now he's got his pal Damian hanging with him, so I hope that doesn't mean we're gonna get another one of those interminable (and pointless) interview segments later on.

*shudder*
If that happens, I'll dial up CG's retro-countdown show, which I meant to mention is quite a gem this week: America, reminiscing about Spring '72 when "Horse With No Name" was near the top.
-
That early EWF was nice... and this Whispers tune is new to me.
-
DAY-um! where did Judge find this old Phil Donahue clip? Angry black women unite!
-

more Stevie: "Superwoman". Hope Judge tracks this LP for a spell.
ETA: and 'deed he do: right into "Where Were You When I Needed You?", m'love.
-
lawd! a pre-Xenu Isaac Hayes with "Joy".
-
that orchestral/instrumental interpretation of the Tempts "Masterpiece" was loooooooooooooong.
-
"Put yo' body where yo' mouth is" -- LOL! "I'm a freaky kinda lover, baby!" No idea who this is, but I'm digging the, er, sentiment.
-
Judge closes his Levert tribute with "Casanova", one of my fave forgotten singles of the '80s.
-

Who/when was this? I have mixed feelings about that song and suspect I'd like an instro version better.

No idea, Judge did not say. Just imagine the intro to the Tempts version going on for 7 or 8 minutes.
-
JJ's s-s-s-smokin': Jackie Ross, "Selfish One", a great Mary Wells imitation -- one for the Faux-town list, fo' sho'.
-
early Etta James, new to me: "How Would You Like a Little Payback?"
-
after hearing the Shirley Ellis version last week, here's Gladys gettin' down to the real Nitty Gritty. That must be where Joseph Smith buried those golden plates.
and we close the hour with Curtis/Impressions, "We're a Winner" -- and everybody knows it, too!
-
Dean's CG requests must be coming from Dave via email: Here's John Kongas, Steppin' on you again.
-
ooo! very young and early Stones, their version of "You Better Move On" -- orig Solomon Burke (?) and covered in the late '70s by Mink DeVille.
and followed, non-sequitur-ishly, by Dame Cliff, "We Don't Talk Anymore".
-
a sweet British lady requests and gets BJ's "Scenes From an Eye-talian Restaurant". a couple of reds, a couple of whites, a joint or two...
"engineer boots, leather jackets and tight blue jeans" -- BJ didn't know it then, but that's gayer than anything in Pete's "Rough Boys".
ETA: it just struck me that Manilow shoulda done this song on his '70s-covers CD.
-
CG's retro-countdown show, which I meant to mention is quite a gem this week: America, reminiscing about Spring '72 when "Horse With No Name" was near the top.
Listening now, starting with some of the "bubbling under the Top 20" hits of Jan 22, 1972 -- I'd forgotten "Horse..." was a hit in the UK several months before breaking over here. Stevie Wonder and Cher bubbling under so far. and -- TANC -- John Kongas again, with his "Step on" follow-up, "Tokoloshi Man". And Bread's "Baby, I'm a Wan Shoe".
-
Oh, the Brits love their orchestral TV themes: the John Barry Orch (yes, the "James Bond theme guy") with "Theme from The Persuaders".
ah, but T.Rex's "Jeepster" is always a highlight of any day.
-
Criminy! Benny Hill, with a novelty tune that was #1 for FOUR WEEKS! ("Ernie, the Fastest Milkman in the West").
and two new-to-me hits, back-to-back: Cilla Black's "Something Tells Me" and Gilbert O'Sullivan's "No Matter How I Try" (about a 5'2" guy with a 6'5" girlfriend).
-
Rod goes upstairs to read his PowerPoint, and Elvis covers BJ Thomas's "I Just Can't Help Believing".
-
Oh My. Congregation (they were only "The English Congregation" in the US) with "Softly Whispering I Love You". Highlight of my afternoon.
-
at #2 and new to me: Neil Reid, a Donny Osmond-sounding young boy doing a syrupy, semi-operatic ballad called "Mother of Mine". And thousands of little old English ladies weep.
ETA: guess I should add that #1 was "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing". and next week: March 1988 with Rick Astley! Swoon!
-
... and next week: March 1988 with Rick Astley! Swoon!
Watch out, you might get rickrolled!
-
Oh My. Congregation (they were only "The English Congregation" in the US)
My guess is that in America there was risk of confusion with the Mike Curb Congregation.

I s'pose -- tho' how one could confuse "Up With People"-reject hacks like the MCC with talented Brits is a puzzlement. You know about Curb, right? He parlayed his music-biz profile and connections into running for Lieut. Governor of CA as a right-wing Republican. (He won)

OK... I had to look it up:

Classic country KBEC today: and they play the orig "Misty Blue" by Wilma Burgess from 1966, who later became the first openly lesbian country singer (well, after she retired from singing).
-
new to me: Ernest Tubb's "Commercial Affection" (!) : "it was only commercial affection/but she walked away with my heart". Dedicated to Eliot Spitzer, no doubt.
-
another Tom T Hall song that Gaz would probably hate: "I Care" (not to be confused with "I Love").
-
wow, even most "classic country" stations don't play Bob Wills. "San Antonio Rose", a beloved western swing chestnut.
-
Yee Haw! Thank God John Denver's a Country Boy!
-
another original: Pay Price's country hit of "You're the Best Thing that Ever Happened To Me", covered by Gladys & Co.
Followed -- a real "oh wow!" here -- by Michael Murphy's "Carolina In the Pines", his wonderful John Denver-esque follow-up to "Wildfire".
-
oops, I made some CGSS posts in the AT40 thread and I'm too lazy to move 'em. But Greg is promising the 12"" version of Gloria Gaynor's "Honeybee" in the next 20 minutes. Come on and sting me!
-
OMFG -- Greg plays the Trammps' fab pre-major-label "Where Do We Go From Here?", Philly Soul at its finest, no surprise that the label, Golden Fleece Records, was a Gamble & Huff side project.
-
Greg is just kicking butt today: The Pasadenas' wonderful "Tribute" followed by the Dells, in their faux-town period, with "Wear it On Our Face".
and -- Hoo Lawd! -- Miss Millie Jackson says her man is a sweet, kind, FINE man!

my iTunes link for WLNG randomly popped up, playing a Gene Pitney song called "Teardrop by Teardrop" which I'd never heard before!

'LNG never fail to blow my mind with multiple "I've never heard that"s and "haven't heard that in years"s in every single hour. They are truly amazing.
