WTF??? Who is this doing a '60s-soul-styled version of "what have you done for me lately?".  Did Janet steal this from somebody? News to me if so.

turns out that was Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, about whom Gaz was raving last week -- damn, I swear that sounded like it was recorded in 1966.

Hope there's more to come from KDIA--that was kinda cool, but it was pretty short--just a couple of between-song intros and station IDs.  And I think the DJ was Lee Baby Simms, who went on to be the morning man at KFOG in its early days, and iirc, was on KISS-FM until a few years ago.

sadly that was it -- and this WJPC Chicago thing was short too ("on an Aretha Franklin WEEKEND!")

Who's this doing a discofied version of Bobby Womack's "Daylight"? New to me.

I've just signed onto CG's player to hear their retro-countdown show. This week it's nancy Sinatra, recalling the week "Something Stupid" was #1 in '67. Should be fab.

The British charts in '67 are a trip -- Just heard Alan Price's orig cover of Randy Newman's "Simon Smith/Dancing Bear" and here's a Manfred Mann song I've never heard: "Ha Ha Said the Clown".

now this is truly bizarre: Harry Secombe -- Brit comedian, he was part of Peter Sellers' "Goon Shows" in the '50s -- doing a straight-ahead nearly-operatic version of "This is My Song", on the chart the same time as Pet Clark's version.  Oh those wacky Brits.
