KPOO's Marilynn is into some dirty blues with a "drilling" theme -- first a song about a sexy dentist who fills her, um, cavities, and now an oil rigger number: "drill drill drill, daddy!".
ooo! "I'm Always Drunk in San Francisco" -- not sure whose version this is. Nancy Wilson?
-
Judge is doing a salute to solo Smokey. "soft and warm, a quiet storm..."
-
we're getting hours of artists -- after an hour of Smokey, it's an hour of Ree-Ree, from her mid-to-late '70s period. Here's her version of "You'll Never Get to Heaven (If You Break My Heart)", which is new to me.
-
OMG! Here's Ree-Ree's version of "Without Love", which I know via the Southside Johnny version -- the orig is... Ben E King? Solomon Burke?
-
Once you get started with an hour of Chaka, you just can't stop! I likes the way she do it, when she do it.
-
and noe Judge segs from an hour of Chaka to an hour of EWF. Bow-day-OW!

Yee Haw! checking out "Country Legends" from Dallas/Ft Worth ( http://www.countrygoldradio.com/?gclid=CNbP3aGZ5I4CFSQeYAodpDPjww ) and it's Loretta Lynn, "You Ain't Woman Enough (To take My Man)". Tell it, girl!

fully 14 out of 20 are songs I have never heard before -- this is gonna be interesting.
-
Yikes, early Whitesnake -- long before they discovered Tawny Kitaen.
-
Shakin' Stevens' "You Drive Me Crazy" sounds EXACTLY like Rocky Burnette's "Tired of Toein' the Line" -- it could've easily been that hit's soundalike follow-up, they're THAT similar.
-
AAAAACK! "Stars on 45" -- truly one of the worst (and most unnecessary) records ever made.

Listening again today and they're quite impressive -- def not the same 300 focus-grouped country oldies repeated ad nauseam. Willie Nelson, "Mr Record Man", Charley Pride "The Snakes Crawl at Night" -- damn!
-
Highlight of the afternoon:WLNG plays EJ's fab forgotten "Mama Can't Buy You Love", another of those '80s Elton hits Dave surprisingly ignores. From the Thom Bell sessions, and I'd've loved to hear a Spinners take on this one.

This week Casey recaps the hits of
December November 8, 1975. We've just gone from an RGMike fave, "18 With a Bullet," to one I've never heard, Art Garfunkel's take on "I Only Have Eyes for You." Earlier we got Willie Nelson's "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," which I hadn't heard since I was a kid.
-
What a Top 10 so far:
Captain & Tennille, "The Way I Want to Touch You"
Morris Albert, "Feelings"
Natalie Cole, "This Will Be"
Spinners, "They Just Can't Stop It The (Games People Play)"
That latter is a personal favorite, one unfairly forgotten even though it was one of their biggest.
-
My beloved "Miracles" had peaked at #3 the week prior; this week it falls to 5. "Who Loves You" at 4. What a wonderful year for pop music.
-
"Calypso" at 3, after five weeks at 2. I actually don't remember ever hearing this, and I was a John Denver fan throughout the '70s.
-
"Island Girl" at No. 1.
More interestingly, the countdown is followed by a wonderful tribute to John Lennon on the 27th anniversary of his death.
-
"Calypso" at 3, after five weeks at 2. I actually don't remember ever hearing this, and I was a John Denver fan throughout the '70s.
Dunno if Casey explained, but "Calypso" was the flip of "I'm Sorry", and stations started playing "Calypso" as "I'm Sorry" was peaking. "Calypso" became slightly more popular and it was shown as a double-sided hit on the chart for most of its run. ("Calypso" was Jacques Cousteau's boat; Denver met him and they became friends iirc.)
Heard the first hour before switching to the marathon (first 3 years: '67, '70 & '76) but what a first hour: Ms Baez's fabulous "Diamonds & Rust" and I TOTALLY do NOT remember Freddy Fender's cover of "Secret Love". Ever hear Sinead O'Connor's version?

Listening to the replay of the final 2 hours: I thought of you during "18 With a Bullet" -- an absurdly edited version that must've run all of 90 seconds ("9-1/2 with a Bullet"?). Great stuff here tho'... Esther Phillips goes disco; ONJ's "Something Better To Do" which I truly have not heard in 30 years; ditto the Capt & Tenillle with "The Way I Want to Touch You"; and OMFG it's "Feelings", nothing more than.
Oh, and a TANC to "Nights on B'way" -- I just ordered Soul of the BeeGees from Amazon for all of 4 bucks, just to get Candi Staton's cover of "NOB". And I still can't believe "Bad Blood" was #1 for 3 weeks...
-
AT40 Addendum: KFRC played JT's "Mexico" as an extra and said it was "working its way to the Top 40" on the week in question. Sorry guys -- "Mexico" never made it; peaked at #49. But I guess it must be in the KFRC rotation.

Thanks for filling me in on the "I'm Sorry"/"Calypso" thing - Billboard policy has been interestingly inconsistent over the years when it comes to two-sided hits. (Of which we'll likely never have another again, thanks to digital single sales predominating the market now.)
Don't know Freddy's or Sinead's "Secret Love"; in fact, the only version of that song I have (or know) is that from George Michael's dismally received Songs From the Last Century.

I didn't think it was possible to be gay and never have heard the orig by Doris Day! ;)
