Judge plays white folks! Nu Shooz, "Point of No Return". Weren't there 2 diff songs with that title around the same time? The Cover Girls, perhaps?

The underappreciated Exposé did the other one.

Thanks! I knew it was one of those late-'80s Nuevo girl groups. Company B was another.
ooo! now he's playing RFTW's "Love You Down".

Are you and I the only people who still have a soft spot for this scene? Sweet Sensation, Cover Girls ... and the solo artists Corina ("Temptation") and Martika. (I think she counts.)

Well, "Toy Soldiers" is a HFH for me, so the less said about Martika the better.
Now were getting Freddie Jackson singing about "Tasty Love". Which for fat Freddie would be a 10-pound glazed ham, I reckon. (Or a night with Michael Strahan)

Judge gives us Prince, "100 MPH". much 2 hot 2 B cool!

OK, actually Maserati (a Prince production, I assume -- who can tell the diff?)
-
Gwen Guthrie's got them bill collectors at her door again.
-
no idea who's doing a very faithful cover of FOD's "Going in Circles".
-
OMG -- Prince's "Anotherloverholeinyohead"!
-
Judge plays Dolemite!
"you mah nigga if you don't get no bigga -- and if you get bigga, then you mah bigga nigga".
Word.
-
Hoo Lawd! "Casanova" -- one of my very fave singles of the late '80s.
-
Dept of Redundancy Dept: Patti Austin, "in the heat of heat, the heat is so hot" Huh?
-
Listening to Gold's retro-chart show: it's Sept 1978 when "3 Times a Lady" was #1. And I'm hearing Renaissance -- anyone else remember them besides me? -- doing a song called "Northern Lights" that almost sounds like one of ABBA's ballads. New to me and quite pretty.
Renaissance were huge on NYC prog-FM radio in the mid-'70s, and all-but-forgotten now.
-
and now it's "Substitute" (NOT the Who song) a former #1 by Clout, on its way down. Gloria Gaynor covered it in the US and both versions ended up bombing here. But on the flip side of Ms. Gaynor's "Substitute" was a little ditty called "I Will Survive" that you may have heard once or twice...
-
Holy crap! The Rezillos doing a tribute to "Top of the Pops", followed by Blondie's great forgotten "Picture This". Her finest hour was watching you shower...
and that's followed by Siouxie, "Hong Kong Garden" -- this was quite a week for music in the UK.
-
Jeezus! Dylan's "Baby Stop Cryin'" was a Top 15 single in Britain!
-
And now the Motors, stealing a riff or 2 from the GrassRoots' "Sooner or Later" on "Forget About You" -- I wonder if Gaz has ever heard this one.
-

-
final comment: at #5, David Essex with "Oh What a Circus" --which is from Evita!. Mr Essex played "Che" in the show in London's West End. This has been an amazing 2 hours -- not even "Dreadlock Holiday" can ruin it for me.
-
Wow, I didn't recognize most of these songs! I'll be seeking out the Renaissance and Motors tracks toot sweet.
-
Just logged on to KCDX for the first time in a while and here's Speedy Keen (the precursors to Thunderclap Newman, iirc) doing "Old-Fashioned Girl". Talk about a rarity.
-
10cc's minor masterpiece "I'm Mandy, Fly Me", followed by the orig FMac version of "Sentimental Lady", which I prefer to Welch's remake -- less is more.
-
OMG! Loudon Wainwright's "Dead Skunk", which cometothinkofit woulda made a fine addition to the Turkey set. C'mon, STINK!
-
WLNG just played the orig 45 version of Chris Rea's "Fool If You Think It's Over", which was in not-great shape, but at least it was the orig. The jock explained that (as we have suspected and discussed here) Every. Single. Chris Rea CD in existence has a re-recorded version.

Am I correct in assuming the version of "Fool" I have on a "Hard to Find 45s" comp is a re-record?

if it sounds jsut like the version Dave has played ... then yes, it's the re-do.

Seems like every time I listen to Sweeney on CG, he plays the new Iggles tune. "Like a bluebird with its heart removed..." -- there's a visual for ya. Ewwww.

Eagles singing of heartless birds = redundant

Undoubtedly the whitest guy we'll hear on "Soul Spectrum" today: R. Dean Taylor! Doing his "Ghost in My House" -- if the 4 Tops didn't cover this one, they should've.

wow, it's a White Folks Fest! here's Nu Shooz, "I Can't Wait", with some of the most endearingly cheezy synths ever. "I love you, even when you don't try" -- for years I thought she was saying "I love you even when you don't drive".
-
Woo Hoo! Greg goes all the way and plays Sly Fox! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!
-
Today's Casey recap comes from 12/1/73. Jim Croce debuts at #18 with "Time in a Bottle," he having bid adieu a few weeks earlier. And Casey incorrectly predicts that Helen Reddy's "Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress)" (now at 12) will become a #1.
-
Another Saturday of overtime, but Casey K is counting down Dec 1st 1973! Hope Gaz is hearing some o'this. Mavis and daddy daddy daddy are at #14, followed by the great, underrated Ms Reddy's "Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress)".
-
Ms Reddy's "Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress)".
which, BTW, Casey predicts will be a #1 -- sorry, Mr K, you turned out to be wrong.
-
OMGWTFLOL! Marie Osmond channels Anita Bryant on "Paper Roses". Talk about a flashback!
-
Ms Reddy's "Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress)".
which, BTW, Casey predicts will be a #1 -- sorry, Mr K, you turned out to be wrong.
Haha, jinx! And very nearly another one for the LOLs and OMGs of "Paper Roses" at 12.
-
Now this is my kinda cheese: "The Most Beautiful Girl," who walked out on Charlie Rich.
-
That was a great story about Sam Phillips thinking Charley Rich would be bigger than Elvis and Roy Orbison... hadn't heard "The Most Beautiful Girl" in quite some time. Oh for the days when Country #1's routinely crossed over to Pop.
-
And now a big Gaz swoon for the DeFrancos! It's a good vibration!
-

Yeah, I specifically remember my introduction to pop radio including Rich, John Denver, and Freddy Fender. And a couple years later, Crystal Gayle, Barbara Mandrell, and Don Williams.
-
And now a big Gaz swoon for the DeFrancos! It's a good vibration!
A good vibration but a terrible voice. Seriously, was anyone ever more flat on a #1 Top 5 track than little Tony?
-
I hope and pray that they've syndicated that "upcoming" Xmas countdown Casey just promo-ed -- and that KFRC plays it. I remember it well, it was fab.

Well, there was "Angel Baby" by (I think) Rosie and the Originals -- considered one of the worst records ever by DJs of the era. Fingernails-on-a-blackboard time.
-
pre-emptive "Woo-Woo!" Jinx for Gladys on da train. I'd forgotten Jim Weatherly wrote "Neither One of Us" too.
-
You got to have a mother trucker for me! Eddie Kendricks, making it easier for me to do the dishes and clean up the kitchen.
-
Eddie K's a Red Ball Express -of LOVIN'! But "Least-remembered hit in the Top 10" goes to Billy Preston's "Outta-Space" soundalike, "Space Race".
-

Let his love flood yo' Watergate! Oh, wait, that's from "Boogie Down" (the looong version).
-
ooo! I was looking at the chart at home earlier and I swear I said "I hope we get 'Helen Wheels' as an extra!" And lo...
-
"I'm not a present for your friends to open" -- !?! -- how naive America was in '73 not to get what this song was really about.
-
Ringo snaps a photo. Richard Perry is truly one of the unsung musical heroes of the '70s.
-
I just noticed that Casey hasn't done any long-distance dedications in these replays. Was he not doing them in the early '70s, or are there different (pirvacy?) rights for replaying those?
-

I hear ya. But I'm sure there's no other act that had multiple Top 5 instrumentals AND multiple Top 5 vocals.
Woo! "Top of the World" is there!
-

I believe LDDs started later on in the run of the show -- after it switched from a three-hour to a four-hour format.
What a joy to haer "Top of the World". I don't remember Casey trying to predict next week's #1 either -- that feature was pretty short-lived, iirc. Well, I'll head over to KFOG for an hour until CGSS time.

I'm with Felix Hernandez at WBGO for the hour, at least while '89 is still the year. And yeah, the prediction thing came as a surprise to me, especially that he predicted a rebound for "Photograph." (He was wrong, btw: TOTW hung on for another week before being dethroned 12/15/73 by Charlie Rich.
-

'79 is up next, should you care.

Hmmm... a Latino guy singing "My only desire is making you mine" -- no wonder Dave loves "Coo-BAH!" so much ;D
-
"An' ahm out da DOOR!" Over to CGSS in time for EnVogue's Fab. Yoo. Luss. ""My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)".
-
HAHAHA! Thanks to Greg on CGSS, I'm hearing "Coo-BAH!" twice in less than an hour.
-
OMFG! Greg digs out the orig "Money$ Too Tight To Mention", later covered by Simply Red. CUTBACKS!
-
Surprise of the Day: The Temptations' version of "Friendship Train" -- new to me.
-
Hoo Lawd! Bobby W, "If You Think You're Lonely Now".
-
Too bad the PM replay of AT40 doesn't include the first hour; the bottom of this week's chart from '73 was very interesting -- a festival of sound-alike follow-ups including:
Tony Orlando, still looking for Sweet Gypsy Rose in the "Strawberry Patch With Sally"
Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Get Down" clone, "Ooh Baby"
"My Music", L&M's cheap knockoff of "Your Mama Don't Dance"
Kudos, then, to the Stylistics for the underrated "Rockin' Roll Baby", one of their rare uptempo numbers. But a worst-of-the week to "Be", Neil Diamond at his most pretentious -- a scary harbinger of his future. And Best Flashback to Art Garfunkel's "All I Know", a gorgeous Jim Webb lyric, beautiful production and -- sadly -- a completely forgotten Top Ten single.
ETA: and this is weird -- I'm looking at the Hot 100 charts for late '73 and the "Chart Bound" box at the top of the Sept 15th chart indicates that Thunderclap Newman's "Something in the Air" was re-released as a single that week. WTF? It never even charted as a result of that re-issue... bet someone at MCA got demoted as a result of that blunder.
