[RGMike]

I was just gonna post about whether AL would revive this tradition (Dave let it lapse in 2008 and of course last year he was already gone). But per the KFOG website, it's on for Monday.

'LNG just played the Moms Mabley version of "Abraham Martin & John" -- if AL plays it I'll plotz.

[Tinka Cat]

Pride is one of U2's best songs... BOS for this live version.

[RGMike]

U2 live "Pride" to start.

one of my faves too!

I won't dock AL points for predictability.  But I hope she dusts off Stevie Wonder's "Black Man" from SITKOL.

good speech fragments.  

We Shall Overcome into a version by ... Toots?  Jimmy?  not sure.

or better still, the Gary Byrd/Stevie W collab "The Crown"

This reggae "WSO" is cool -- last nite on KPOO the jazz show played multiple versions of this song.

I don't know the artist either, but I liked that!

Keep on Pushin'!
memory says it's in Curtis' Impressions era.

[RGMike]

BOS Curtis/Impressions, "Keep on Pushin' "

[Gazoo]

Woo!  Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions, "Keep on Pushin'"!  Several of their songs would have worked here - "Choice of Colors," "This Is My Country," etc.

I'd love Sharon Jones/Dap-Kings fab cover of "This Land Is Your land", recently spotlighted on the Up in the Air sndtk.
