KPOO's stream is rather crappy today -- first time in ages that I've had probs with it.

stream's still kinda in-n-out, but Judge's gem of the day (so far) is Stacey Lattisaw's lovely "Let Me Be Your Angel".

listening to the podcast of Saturday's CGSS, and Greg plays Donna Summer's seldom-heard "Winter Melody", the ballad from her "4 Seasons of Love" LP, one of several disco concept albums she did in the late '70s. Loverly.

Time once again for the annual somafm.com Xmas feed -- fabulous stuff as always.  Stan Freberg as we speak.  And this year they also have a "Xmas Lounge" channel.  As Mr Freberg would say, "Great Stuff!"

Alan Jackson takes the otherwise treacly "Please Daddy, Don't Get Drunk This Xmas" (orig done by John Denver and written by the Danoffs of Starland Vocal band fame) and turns it into a honky-tonk two-stepper. Yee Haw!

Sweeney plays one of MJ's best (and least-played) '80s singles, "Leave Me Alone" -- in fact iirc it was a 45 in the UK but not the US.

December 18, 1971 is our AT40 flashback.  #28 was the New Seekers, "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing."  And at #26?  Um, the Hillside Singers, "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing."

At 24, up 6: Honey Cone, "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show."

And the trivia -- which female artist has had the most #1 hits? -- had an outdated answer of Patti Page (!) and Connie Francis, with 3 each.  That'd take a few years to change.

Peter Nero's pre-rock-sounding "Theme From 'Summer of '42' " was surreal to hear at 21.  Especially when followed two positions later by Aretha's "Rock Steady" and the Temps' "Superstar."

the "sookie-suck you" version!

What a fabulous first hour: Charley Pride kissed an angel, The Grass Roots learned long division, Joe Simon drowned and Betty Wright cleaned up!

and J Geils are doing "Lookin' for a Love" as an "extra".  What a week/what a year.  OMFG! Donny Osmond!

Some trivia for ya (a story I heard once and wish I'd better committed to memory): The Grass Roots were initially supposed to record "Don't Pull Your Love," but somehow HJF&R got to it first.  The songwriters (Lambert and Potter?) told Rob Grill, "Don't worry, we'll write you another just like it."  And so came "Two Divided By Love."

we'll see... at this point in time everybody considered it a "very important record" as Dave might say -- so we could get all of it.  Have you noticed that some other songs are edited for time?

Ooops -- you were right!  But S&C make up for it, hawn-ey!

"Baby, I'm a wan shoe". Which is a lot more comfortable than a brand new shoe, IMHO. (Or a brand new key, which is yet to come)

Cutesy/Novelty records always rise quickly.  Ms. Safka did a lovely cover of Jim Croce's "Lover's Cross" a couple of years later that, sadly, bombed -- I thought it would be a major comeback for her, but no.

Sly makes it 3 weeks at #1. And now off to Felix H.

I believe it is G/K.  Org by ... Bobby Vee? Jerry Butler may have done it too, and somebody (Bobby Vinton?) did a "Hey Girl"/"My Girl" medley iirc.


follow-up: Freddie Scott did the orig in '63; it was Bobby Vee who did the Hey Girl/My Girl medley in '68.

I cannot hear "Desiderata" without thinking of the Nat'l Lampoon parody, which sadly did not make the Top 40 (it peaked at 91!).

TANC of the Week: at the exact moment that Little Steven was playing the Crystals' "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" to lead off his 2007 Xmas Show Part I, KFRC was playing the J-5's version.
