DJ Marilynn on KPOO gives us a live Ray Charles/Ree-Ree duet of "Spirit in the Dark" -- "ah discovered Ray Charles", sez Aretha, paraphrasing an old Filp Wilson line.
-
Judge plays a Johnny 'Guitar' Watson tune called "Love Jones" that totally rips off the melody from the Emotions' "Don't Ask My Neighbors".
-
JJ starts off with the orig "Share Your Love with Me" by Bobby Blue Bland, later covered by Ree-Ree and (in an underrated '80s version) by Kenny Rogers with help from Gladys Knight.
-
JJ kicks off his KPOO set with a version of "Share Your Love With Me" that I don't recognize. I only know Aretha's (and am vaguely aware that Kenny Rogers covered it too).

Jinx of wavelength if not word choice!

You NEED to kear the Kenny/Gladys version. By far his loveliest single.
"Come ON, David Ruffin!"

"Little" Carl Carlton -- Dave played that once on a Soul Patrol, iirc.
OOO! The Originals' creamy-dreamy "Baby I'm Fo' Reals".
-
Hoo lawd! Ree-Ree's cover of "Tracks of my Tears"!
-
Rats - The stream's started choking. :(

stick with it, it goes in cycles sometimes. Jr Walker puckers up!
-
Koko Taylor physically isn't able to dial it down, I suspect.
-
wow, very early Stevie "Sign my Contract on Love" -- JJ played that one Sat nite and I thought it was Frankie Lymon or somebody like that
-

20. () Geordie - Can You Do It
some fab stuff there, and I'll get to hear First Choice for the 3rd time this week.
-
and "bubbling under" the top 20 -- early solo Roger Daltrey, "Giving it All Away".
followed by -- holy crap! -- Elvis Presley's cover of "Polk Salad Annie". Isn't this another of those songs that he turned down originally, then started doing in his act after someone else had the hit?
-
And here's Paul Simon's "take Me to the mardi Gras" -- the leadoff single from Rhymin Simon in the UK because "Kodachrome" mentioned a commercial product and therefore couldn't be played on the BBC.
-
New to me: Junior Campbell's "Sweet Illusion" -- def one for the "Faux-Town" list. Gaz needs to hear this one.
-
wow, the Partridges covering "Walking in the Rain" -- never did anything over here; their US career was over by '73.
Followed by Perry Como's "And I Love You So" -- the absolute loveliest old-codger-covers-young-songwriter hit EVAH.
-
WTF? a reggae cover of... "Snoopy vs the Red Baron"! Oh those wacky Brits.
followed by one of my all-time fave British #1s that failed to connect in the US: Roy Wood's Wizzard, "See My Baby Jive".
-
Little-heard T.Rex, "Groover" followed by Suzi Quatro at her sassiest, "Can The Can".
and then F.Mac's second chart go-'round with "Albatross" -- it reached #1 in '69 and was reissued in '73 and made it to #2. Amazing.
-
"we all got balls & brains
but some got balls & chains"
great line, great single, the first of many mini-masterpieces from 10cc.
-
Remind me again: Are these countdown shows on-demand listening, or scheduled for a day/time?

it's on-demand for 7 days after initial airing -- so you've got until Saturday to check it out.

I hadn't listened to KCDX in months, figured I'd give it a spin today & was immediatley rewarded with Television "Venus". But in the last half hour it has gotten really cheesy:
Styx - The Best of Times
Eddie Money - Gamblin Man
Kansas - Point Of Know Return
The Who - Pinball Wizard
The Band - Stage Fright
Phil Collins - Sussudio
Howard Jones - Dream Into Action
Genesis - I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)
Melanie - Brand New Key
but that's the beauty of KCDX

I'm glad they're back; the player wasn't working for several months and when i emailed them I got a bounce-back... the one-man-band musta been on vacay.
listening to Greg's Sat nite CGSS and he's playing Thelma Houston's *other* (forgotten) hit, "Saturday Night/Sunday Morning", which deserved much better treatment from pop radio in '78.
-
Oran "Juice" Jones (and his $3700 Lynx coat) thows da bitch out one mo' time. "You without me like cornflakes without the milk!"
-
Prince is on Alphabet Street, shakin' his body like a horny pony would -- now run and tell yo' mama 'bout DAT!
-

KCDX's stream appears to be dead again.
-
But WMIR's stream is just fine, and they loves them some Zappa.
"She ripped apart her rancid poncho...
we did it 'til we were unconscio"
followed, OMFG, by Def f---in' Leppard. DUUUDE! "Love Bites"! appropriate for the day...
-
Wow -- Sweeney on CG plays Mink DeVille's "Spanish Stroll" , or "Lou Reed goes to Spanish Harlem" as I like to call it. This actually got to #20 on the UK singles chart!
-
Woohoo! The CG player is working for me today! A bit o' Sweeney's Mancunian goodness!
Playing Mink DeVille's Spanish Stroll right now--diggin' it.

Kid Creole rocks da house. "'cause if i was in yo' blood, then you wouldn't be so UGLY!"
onna onna onna-motta-pee-ah!
ETA: and now Disc-O-Texx wanna dance witchoo, his shameless "Get dancin'" retread. Well, whaddya expect from a Puerto Rican hairdresser?

For all his lack of musical talent, Miss Monti Rock III had quite the gift of gab. I mean. how else does a hairdresser end up a semi-regular guest on the Merv Griffin Show? (I always suspected that he and Merv met in a back-room bar, but of course Merv couldn't say THAT on TV, so he introduced him as "my mother's hairdresser" or something.) I will never forget seeing him on Merv in 1970 or thereabouts, doing The. Worst. Version. EVAH. of Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne". OMFG it was horrendous. When Disc-O-Texx turned out to be him, it made perfect sense. I'll bet his chiffon is still wet.

And BTW, he's still alive and well and would like to sing at your wedding (or anybody's):

Joe Tex (no relation to Disco Texx) discovers that it takes two hands to handle a whopper. Joe, you weren't exactly svelte yerself.

Whew! KFRC takes a break from "History of Rock" to flash back to Feb. 13, 1971's Kasey Kountdown.
Falling off the chart this week:
"Games" (shoot, I would've enjoyed hearing this)
"Pay to the Piper"
"For the Good Times"
"Stoned Love"
"Black Magic Woman"
In Holding at 40 and new to me: Joe Simon, "Your Time to Cry." Tasteful strings-soaked sappy sadness.
-
At 36 and also new to my ears: Johnnie Taylor's "Jody's Got Your Girl and Gone." The reissue of Millie Jackson's Caught Up album had in its liner notes an interesting digression on the history of the "Jody" character in cheating songs of the period (indeed, in her album, she addresses her rival as "Mrs. Jody").
And where else on radio will you EVER hear Wilson Pickett ("Don't Let the Green Grass Fool Ya") followed by Led Zeppelin ("Immigrant Song")?
And now - TANC, I just listened to this yesterday while compiling a "Years of Our Lives" mix - Liz Damon's Orient Express, "1900 Yesterday." Gorgeous song, dippy lyrics.
-
Hey everybody! Mistah Rufus in town! Doin' the Push 'n' Pull at #27.
-
Juuuudge! Heah comes AAAAmos! Jerry Reed up to 23 with "Amos Moses," in what so far has been a soul/funk-heavy set.
-
Biggest OMGWTF of the set: At 21, Henry Mancini, "Theme From Love Story," which I have indeed heard before though I never knew what it was. His last Top 40 hit would eventually peak at 13.
-
in what so far has been a soul/funk-heavy set.
Heh, within 15 minutes of posting this, I heard Mancini, Perry Como, and Judy Collins' "Amazing Grace."
And now the fabulous "Stoney End," Barbra doing Nyro better than Nyro did Nyro (then again, I think just about anyone did Nyro better than Nyro).
-
"Remember me as a red balloon." Well, sure:

What the HELL?!? "Sweet Mary" was a DEBUT at #15?!? How on earth did a first chart hit pull that off?
-
And 1971 ended just in time for "1969" from 1969. We're off!

I believe Stoney End is just down the road from Apollo-By-the-Bay.
Woke up in time for Jerry Reed. Truly fabulous, only-in-the-early-'70s kinda chart.

it had been #44 the week before, and this was actually its 8th week in the Hot 100. I'll have to try and catch the first hour tomorrow after "lost 45s" -- Little Sister, Jackie Moore, Wilson P, Rufus T,JB, JT -- Hoo Lawd!
BTW there were no less than THREE "Love Story" versions on the chart that week: the Mancini, Frances Lai's version (from the sndtk LP) and Andy Williams' vocal version. I'll mention Love Story again in mshray's Worst-Oscar-Nominations thread...
-
At 36 and also new to my ears: Johnnie Taylor's "Jody's Got Your Girl and Gone"
TANC: JJ just played this on KPOO. And followed it with the Impressions' fab post-Curtis "Check Out Your Mind" and the O'Jays' pre-"Backstabbers" (indeed, pre- Philly Int'l) hit, "Looky Looky".
ETA: and then it was Denise LaSalle, "Now Run and Tell That".
-
WTF? A 1975 cover of "Take Me To The River" by an Al Green sound-alike named Syl Johnson.

Tonight on Barry Scott, John Travolta, "Let Her In," which I believe is about the same subject as Andy Kim's "Rock Me Gently."
ETA: This is surely one of the most "pitchy" records ever to hit the Top 40, along with Rex Smith's "You Take My Breath Away" and the Intruders' "I'll Always Love My Mama."

And no more than 20 minutes later, what should play ... but "Rock Me Gently"!!! TANC!!!
-
Hey Mike: We just heard Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods' "Who Do You Think You Are," and Barry's already replied to my e-mail of 10 minutes ago: He has indeed heard the Candlewick Green version.

The folk who own CG, GCap media, are closing down 2 of their UK digital stations in a bid to save some bucks. They're shuttering "TheJazz" and "Planet Rock" (which is the one Alicat was raving about recently, I think).
