on VIP: Gloria Jones orig of "Tainted Love".

bonus: VIP's player now has a "now playing" feature, for identifying the many obscurities they play, especially the stuff the Brits call Northern Soul. Right now: "TLC": by PJ -- a new one on me.

OMGWTFLOL!  Dusk, "I Hear Those Church Bells Ringing" -- a girl-group throwback from '71 or '72 that I thought I'd never hear again. A minor hit in the US and totally fab. They were on Bell records -- the label already had Dawn so they figured they should have a group called Dusk too...

If I'd heard this last week, I'd've looked for it at Village Music yesterday.

now it's a Jamaican-sounding woman (no idea; the "now playing" feature stopped working) doing "Police and Thieves".

Hey!

I wish Nina Simone had covered that RF song.  Didn't recognize the "Masquerade" thing that preceded it, but it was a fun one.

First time you heard that Isleys tune?  One from their brief stay at Motown, and one of my favorite obscurities.

yikes! Robbie Dupree, "Steal Away". Does this count as Yacht Rock? or is it Imitation Yacht Rock?

This song playing now -- "They'll Never Know Why I Love You"? -- is knocking my ass off!  Sounds like the Grass Roots with the Four Tops on backing vox!
