Quote from: "RGMike"
Seven rooms, that's all it is! Seven rooms of GLOOM!


(Jinx!)

This was the follow-up to the unbeatable triptych of "Reach Out, I'll Be There," "Bernadette," and "Standing in the Shadows of Love."  Maybe they should've switched gears and gone with "Yesterday's Dreams" as the follow-up single.  A lesson Motown would heed a couple years later when picking J5 singles.

I hate being purposeless in the Wayne Fontana World.

yikes, "Freebird" once this week was plenty. How many trailer-trash Southerners are there in London?

ooo! Keith, "98.6". Did we ever figure out if the same folks wrote this song and the Montana's "You Gotta Be Loved"?

listening to KVET Austin, calling themselves "Genuine Country".  One of my all-time faves: "I'm Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorate Our Home".

First WLNG Nugget o' the Day: Chubby Checker, "Limbo Rock". I never noticed how similar this is to "Blame it on the Bossa Nova".  How Low Can You Go, indeed...

Nugget #2: Prince, "Gaz-berry Beret", dovetailing nicely with this morning's "Pop Life" appearance.

listening to classic country KBEC this hour: Kenny Rogers & Dottie West covering Sonny & Cher's "All I Ever Need is You"!  Wacky!

CGSS: Greg's doing a salute to McFadden & Whitehead for some reason.  Great stuff, in any case.

Oh no! McFadden died this week, that's why.  (Whitehead died in 2004).
