OMG! Judge uncovers a true lost track: Marilyn McCoo's orig version (a Google search sez 1978) of "Saving All My Love For You", later a huge hit for Whitney Houston. First time I've heard this version, and it's quite nice.

And now it's a soulful cover of CSN's "Fair Game" - no idea who this is.

"Jesse -- now Jerome! YES!" Judge busts out some "Jungle Love". And I don't mean the Steve Miller kind.

You wanna make love, or what?"

The Sweeney's doing ninety
Cos they've got the word to go
They get a gang of villains
In a shed up at Heathrow...


That's actually a good example of a deejay whose face actually goes with his voice -- he looks (and sounds) like he should be an extra in some Brit crime show.

luxuriamusic is quite the find, princess.  Just heard a moog synthesizer version of "Spanish Flea".  Some of it is a bit TOO bizarre -- it's kinda like being trapped in Esquivel's Space-Age Bachelor Pad without any liquor --  but then that makes the gems stand out all the more.

If anyone's online tonight, Barry Scott's weekly Lost 45s show, an obscurities-fest I've touted much in years past, is once again online, as Oldies 103.3 in Boston has resumed simulcasting on the Web. http://www.oldies1033.com/ Sunday 7-10pm. You'll be glad you did


I just tried out the Oldies 103.3 player, in advance of maybe listening to Barry Scott later, and they're playing Billy Joel's "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" -- if you asked me to name a non-single that an oldies station might have in rotation, that would not be a song that would come to mind. Impressive.

Good on them.  I'll be tuning in for Barry Scott in a few minutes.  For now, catching some all-over-the-placers on LuxuriaMusic: a cover of "Liar Liar" by the Iberos (?) and a grand tune from Don ("Indian Reservation") Fardon: "I'm Alive."  BTW, Mike, your Esquivel-bach-pad description was one of the great lines about anything, ever.

Mike, I hope you tuned in in time for another dose of Mary Hopkin's "Those Were the Days."  I have to admit, the chorus's rhyming of "day" with "days" really anoys me, and the song's really a verse/chorus too long, but there's something in my quarter-Russian, quarter-Gypsy heritage that compels me toward that Eastern European melody.

Barry's been on a roll otherwise.  We got Livvie's "Deeper Than the Night" and Donna's "The Wand-uh-uh" back to back.  But alas, these are all songs that *didn't* make his Top 100 countdown (next week's show).

Post by: Gazoo on August 26, 2007, 04:45:44 PM
Added bonus: The "just played" feature runs a song ahead of the stream, so you can cheat and look ahead if you want.

Alicat alert: "The Love I Lost" was a sweet song, indeed.

Oh Gaz! This is beyond heavenly. I tuned in just in time for this 1970 Yearbook thingy.  "Candida" and "Out in the Country" are among my fave Dawn and 3DN songs, but -- hoo lawd! -- Candi Staten Island's "Stand By Your Man" was a treat and a half. It actually reached #24 Pop, but NOBODY in NYC and environs played it, and since Casey Kasem didn't get picked up in NY until the following Spring, it was lost to me.

TANC: news clip of Jackson State -- followed by Kenny Rogers, "Tell It All, Brother"!!!  

I'll have to tune away for the Big Love season finale in 45 mins, but this will be a regular Sunday nite feature in my house from now on!

I know you like this one, Mike, but I really can't listen to "Playground in My Mind."  Didn't know that was a Paul Vance production.

And I'm stunned that during this wartime "Bring the Boys Home" didn't make the Top 100.

Continuing the theme, it's New Edition's "Mr. Telephone Man"; I didn't realize Barry was now going this "recent."  Nor did I know that Ray Parker Jr. wrote this one.

I thought maybe we'd had a conversation about Parker writing that; it certainly makes sense for Barry to play '80s cheeze.

And it would make sense for you to follow Lost 45s each week with Little Steven's show from 10-midnite on Q-104 -- he's doing his annual B-Day salute to John Peel.

BTW, the Seals&Crofts tune was the theme from One on One, a basketball movie starring Robby Benson (swoon!).  Glad you finally got to hear Alice Cooper's "You'n'Me", Dave really should play it sometime -- as well as just about every other song discussed today. Barry Scott for president!
