Lawd! Ashford & Simpson, "High-Rise", way up on the East Side.  Which is where they live, actually. Or did -- I used to see Nick Ashford walking on 3rd Ave occasionally.

Herbie Hancock's "Rockit", one of the few great '80s instrumentals to hit the pop chart -- I'm gonna demand this next time Dave does that theme set.

So glad i opted for JJ over Bob: "Gonna take a Miracle" (the orig by the Royalettes) followed by one of my all-time faves, "Oh No Not My Baby", a Goffin/King gem of pre-feminist rationalization, rendered by Maxine Brown.

one of my fave lesser Smokey hits (chart-wise), "Special Occasion", followed by Sly, "Stand".  You've been sitting much too long!

Veddy interesting: CG's retro chart show has Greg Lake reminiscing about the week in '77 when "Fanfare for the Common man" was near the top of the pops. here's the chart, more or less:

and one of the highlights of that chart: Kenny Rogers, "Lucille". Ah, for the days when country gems like this routinely crossed over to pop.

New to me: Brotherhood of Man, ripping off ABBA with "Angelo", a shameless mashup of "Fernando" and "Chiquitita".  Yikes.

More ONJ! 'LNG plays "Magic". I'll take great songs from horrendously bad movies for 500, Alex!

Any of those four could appear on "Return of the Attack of the Name Game" -- and indeed, one of them does!

Listening to Greg's CGSS from Saturday -- The Four Tops' cover of "Walk Away Renee" is truly one of the most perfect marriages of artist and (cover) song ever -- whatever Motown A&R guy suggested it deserved a big Xmas bonus that year.

And it's followed by the Chi-lites, "Give Mo' Power to da Peeps". I just got a C-Ls GH that looks fab.

'LNG plays Roberta Flack, the 45 version of "First Time ever I saw Your face", one of the most intricate editing jobs ever to hit the charts. Lots of internal edits (half a phrase here, half a phrase there) all thru the song, to get it down to an airplay-friendly length.

CG retro-chart show alert: Boy George's old flame Jon Moss guests this week on From the Bottom to the Top. And he knows from bottoms and tops.  

Oh --  they're counting down the week in '82 that "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" was #1....

CGSS plays Boyz II Men, "MotownPhilly"  -- if Dave can play Color Me Badd ad infinitum, why can't he play this just once?

CGSS plays Cameo, "She's Strange" Somehow methinks Larry Blackmon is the last person to be calling anybody strange...

Eddie Kendricks and the version of "Boogie Down" with the "let my love flood your Watergate" line intact. Hope that's in the 12"" version, which is on that import Motown Disco CD I just ordered.

Wow! "Skywriter" one of the most obscure of all theJ-5's Top 40 hits.
