a brief stopover at CG before (here come the) Judge on KPOO, and it's Slade's orig "Mama Weer All Crazee Now".
followed by -- talk about yer trainwreck segs -- "Winchester Cathedral". Oh-voh-de-oh- D'OH!
-
KPOO's Judge does a double play of Faith Hope & Charity, a First Choice-like trio I always got confused with Ecstasy Passion & Pain.
-
JB, "Sexy Sexy Sexy", one of the Godfather's least-heard songs. Good Gawd!
-
And now it's a Doctor John twin-spin: Right Place, Wrong Time into I Been Hoodoo'd.
-
OMGWTFLOL! Ohio Players,"Funky Worm". Like 9 cans o' shavin' powder!
Double OMGWTFLOL -- Foster Sylvers, "Misdemeanor"!
-
another twin-spin, this time the Isleys: "Gonna put it in the Lay-away" (sounds just like "gonna put it in the want ads") and their version of "Work to Do".
-
a J-5 song I've never heard, "If I have to Move a Mountain". And I think this is them too, doing "You Send Me".
-
Judge is da MAN! 100 Proof, "Everything Good is Bad".
-
"Superfly Meets Shaft"!!!
and now Brenda & the Tabulations! followed by the Presidents' "5-10-15-20". Judge is blowing my mind today.

Didja catch the Dickie Goodman-esque "Superfly is Missing" thing he played about half an hour ago (or was that what you were referring to)? Very typical of those types of records, but I'd never heard that one before.
ETA: But since then I've had nothing but buffering every minute or so, despite rebooting and relaunching the player several times. So I'm off to SOMAfm land for some indie pop.

yes, that was "Superfly Meets Shaft". Early 1973, actually made the Top 40. Produced under the auspices of Dickie Goodman -- his first attempt at a "soul" Flying Saucer record, afaik.
-
Lou Rawls, he a natch'l man, man!
-
ooo! Ike & Tina's version of "Come Together" -- holy roly!
and to close out the afternoon (so tastefully), Billy Preston "I Wrote a Simple Song". Haven't heard this one in ages.
-
JJ pulls out a Lou Rawls tune I've never heard, "Down Here on the Ground" (?)
-
Tech difficulties on the CG stream, so it's 'LNG all the way today.
and I'm just in time for TJ's "Delilah"! Compare and contrast to the Eminem song where he kills his wife.
-
Veddy interesting: thanks to a Brad Kava tip in today's Merc, here's a link to KGSR in Austin. This is their listener poll for 2005 (songs and albums):
http://www.kgsr.com/musicpolls/index.aspx
and they stream, too. sounds kinda like KPIG with a pinch of KFOG. Will have to check 'em out this afternoon.

Been listening about a half-hour. Impressive -- everything from Johnny Cash to the Clash.
-
nice to hear them playing "3 Cool Cats" from Ry Cooder's Chavez Ravine CD. KPIG was all over that one too, but -- shamefully -- KFOG passed it by.
ETA: and now they're playing the new Subdudes CD!
-
wow -- somebody's doing a wrenching cover of Joan Armatrading's "Down to Zero". ??? (the website doesn't have a "just played" feature)
-
"Wow" of the Day: a song called "I Hope" which is a collab between the Dixie Chicks and Keb Mo' (!)
-
"Wow" #2: Stevie, "I Believe When I Fall in Love (it Will Be Forever)".
-
Back to KGSR in time for Dylan's "Hurricane".
-
calling all Deadheads: David Grisman & Jerry Garcia, "Shady Grove".
-

I have that album, that's a great listen all the way through. Also excellent liner notes.
-
Now on CG, it's new to me: Pickettywitch, "That Same Old Feeling." Quaint confection that would've been a nice fit for either Dionne Warwick or Liz Damon's Orient Express.

I do believe Dave played that fairly recently -- there was discussion here about which version it was, Pickettywitch or the Fortunes (there was a cover battle between the 2 on the US chart in 1970). And good ears, bub -- Liz Damon covered it the following year! (and so did the Foundations)
-
Now playing, Lobo, "I'd Love You to Want Me," and I miss the days when stuff like this could become hits.

If you're sticking around a while, I'll switch back to CG.

Seven rooms, that's all it is! Seven rooms of GLOOM!
"I'll have the windows painted black
And wait right here 'til you come back."
Levi was a Goth before there was such a thing.

I'm still there. Now "7 Rooms of Gloom," which Mista DJ dinnae recognize. Great track: the most "rock" thing the Tops ever did, and I have to think HDH had taken note of ? and the Mysterians when they wrote this one. 'Course, the Dells promptly rewrote it a year later for "There Is."
-

(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.
-
wow -- new (well, new-ish) Paul Weller!
-
yikes, "Freebird" once this week was plenty. How many trailer-trash Southerners are there in London?
-
OMG! switched to WLNG in time for "Sugar on Sunday" by Clique (written/produced by Tommy James).
Followed by BS&T, "Hi-De-Ho". gonna get me some of that ol' sweet roll...
-
ooo! Keith, "98.6". Did we ever figure out if the same folks wrote this song and the Montana's "You Gotta Be Loved"?
-
the late great Arthur Alexander's "Anna (Go With Him)", later covered by the Fab Four.
-
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.
-
Nugget #3: The Rose Garden, "Next Plane to London".
-
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).
:cry: :cry: :cry:
-
Chairmen of the Board, "Everything's Tuesday", a fine lost gem.
-
It's all sounding good. It's my salvation.
-
ooo! Kid Creole, "Annie, I'm not Your Daddy"
"'cause if I was in your blood
then you wouldn't be so ugly..."
LOL!
-
Oh My! Earlier we heard Womack & Womack, "Love Wars", and now here's daddy Bobby's "California Dreaming".
Followed by another Bobby: Mr Brown, "Every Little Step", long before he got interested in Doodie Bubbles.
-
most out-of-left-field WLNG Nugget EVER: "Son of My Father" by Giorgio (?) from 1972. I've never heard this version before, but I've heard the British version by Chicory Tip, which was a UK #1 that year. Can't wait to look this one up in Whitburn -- I don't think it did very well chartwise.
-
Nugget of the Week: Checkmates Ltd, "Black Pearl", their fab Phil Spector-produced hit from '69. Spectacular.

It's credited to Giorgio Moroder on the "Have a Nice Day" comp I have (I forget which volume, same one with "Softly Whispering I Love You").

Thanks! per Whitburn the label said simply "Giorgio"; there was a cover battle, with Giorgio peaking at 48 and the Chicory Tip version (credited to simply "Chicory" in the US) only got to 91. Moroder didn't chart again until "Chase" in '79.
