DJ Marilynn plays the orig of "My Ding-a-Ling" which appears to pre-date Chuck Berry's by about 50 years!
-
Judge is in quite a jazzy mood today (DJ Jazzy Judge!) playing the likes of off-the-beaten-path tracks by Herbie Hancock and Weather Report.
-
I have surely never heard this instrumental version of Ms King's "So far Away" by the Crusaders before.

I am digging this--they really stretch on it. Digging the entire show, actually--feels like 1977 all over again. Just segued into a cover of Marvin Gaye's I Want You To Want Me Too.

Smooth jazz when Smooth jazz was good!

jumped over to KPOO in time for Shorty Long's cover of... "Chantilly Lace"! -- new to me, never knew this existed.

followed by another new-to-me cover: SDQ's "She's About a Mover" done by what sounds like Wilson Pickett!
oops, turns out it was Otis Clay.
-
only on CG: the brow-beatin', heavy-leather "Resurrection Shuffle", followed by Bowie's fab cover of "Sorrow" and (holy crap) Manilow's "Can't Smile Without You", which is apparently the theme song of Spurs football club (!). Well, I'm sure Barry loves a good ruck.
-
OMG, Sandy Posey's "The Single Girl", getting more love from the Brits than she'll ever get from US oldies stations. "tenderoni she's got to be", replies MJ.
-
another wonderful CG retro-chart: July 1965 -- Byrds are #1, Roger McGuinn is the guest (and he's brought his gee-tar!). But first, "bubbling under" is Sandie Shaw's fab, forgotten "Long Live Love" (covered by Tracey Ullman, iirc).
-
Holy crap -- the Pretty Things covering Solomon Burke's "Cry To Me". New to me and a small gem. Followed by the 'oo -- the equally fab "Anyway Anyhow Anywhere".
-
jeezus, now here's somebody doing the theme from Zorba the Greek!!

TANC -- here's the orig Sir Douglas version on CG's retro-chart.
-
gotta love those Brits: Joan Baez's "There But For Fortune" was a Top 10 hit in the UK. Over here... notsomuch.
-
Greg's Saturday CGSS -- earlier, First Choice's fine cover of Rev. Al's "Love & happiness", and now Luther V's dramatic medley of "Superstar" and "Until You Come back To Me".
-
While I'm waiting for CGSS at noon, I'm checking out NYC's WRXP, their new Triple-A (-ish) station.

after 45 mins I can say: definitely harder-edged than your typical Triple-A (KFOG, KBCO, The Peak). Aerosmith, Big Audio Dynamite, Jane's Addiction, some new stuff i didn't recognize. Oldest thing I heard: early-'70s Allmans. Closest to an "oh wow!" song: the Kinks' "... Fly Like Superman". And here's JCM with Me'shell. But I haven't heard a single "Corinne Colbie Feist" song, and that's a *good* thing, as Martha Stewart would say.

Sweeney just made my day by ending his show with S&G's "Baby Driver"....
... and Greg kicks off with Otis, "Mr. Pitiful"! Lawd!
-
Mike, just curious. Remember how CG used to periodically ask for a UK postal code to verify your residence before you could launch their player? Have you been asked for that lately? Or maybe they've decided they don't care after all.
(Always had to laugh, as the window where they asked for this info contained the address of the Capital radio group--and their postal code, which I would dutifully copy into the response field.)

haven't been asked since before they switched to the new name/website/player. I think that whole thing fell by the wayside. They were certainly happy to sell me a T-shirt last month.

Salt'n'Pepa, "Let's Talk About Sex", bay-bee!
-

I was grateful for that; I'm sure it was their wink'n'nod response to that silly requirement.
-
Jim Gilstrap's delightful "Swing Your Daddy", a mid-charter here but a Top Ten single in the UK -- written by Kenny Nolan (!). Gilstrap was also the unidentified singer doing the opening vocal lines of Stevie's "You Are The Sunshine of My Life".

Casey takes us back to February 26, 1972. Solid set so far - only new one to me being the Detroit Emeralds' "You Want It, You Got It." Melanie had a total of 6 Top 40 hits but 3 of them show up here: We've yet to hear the former #1 "Brand New Key," but we got its follow-up on Buddah, "The Nickel Song," at 36, and at 34, on Neighborhood, "Ring the Living Bell." Not clear on her label situation.
-
Betty Wright was only 18 (and a JuCo student!) when she released "The Clean-Up Woman"!
Also, we got the English Congregation a little bit. Not to be confused with the Mike Curb Congregation.
-
The Iceman cometh! Jerry Butler ain't understanding mellow! (With help from Brenda Lee Eager.) Nice groove, reminds me of "The Sly, the Slick, and the Wicked." And I just noticed that he had the original charting version of "(Mr.) Dream Merchant."
-
Mike, you'll want to catch this if only for Carly's "Ayn-ti-ci-pa-ya-ya-tion."
-
"Floy Joy"! At 18. And always makes me think of
(http://warriors.warren.k12.il.us/whitney/florencegriffithjoyner.jpg)
-
At 16 and new to me: Bee Gees, "My World." Great harmonies, nonsense lyrics. Only its third week in the Top 40, but this is where it would peak.
-
Cringe: the Osmonds' "Down by the Lazy River" at 5.

Actually, I played that Detroit Emeralds song for you last time you were here -- and then we heard it again that night on the way home from the Sharks game when JJ played it (JJ lurves him some Emeralds).
Melanie was on Neighborhood at that point, she had left Buddah. So "Living Bell" was Neighborhood's official follow-up to their "Key". Buddah was trying to cash in on her new-found popularity with "Nickel Song". Sadly, both singles stalled short of being big hits.
I slept in and am sorry to have missed all that, not to mention JB, BJ (Thomas) and the Addrisis (KFRC doesn't replay the first hour), but I'll tune in tonite for the others you mentioned, plus Cher's super-fab "Way of Love", Beverly Bremers best-Lesley Gore-imitation-evah "Don't Say You Don't Remember" and Ms King's forgotten "Sweet Seasons". And now it's time for a classic Soul Train with Brick and Sister Sledge.

Sadly, my memory, she often fails me.
Oddly, "Brand New Key" appears on the Buddah box. Did they distribute Neighborhood, I wonder?

The chart that week says Neighborhood was distributed by "Famous", whoeverthehell *they* were. Her last charted single on the 'hood was a cover of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" in late '73. I dunno what label she was on after that; she did a lovely cover of Jim Croce's "Lover's Cross" in '74 or '75 that didn't chart. I'm guessing Buddha bought the Neighborhood stuff later on for greatest hits compilation purposes.

Brenda Lee (Eager)'s comin' on (Only the) Strong (Survive).
Flashback of the week for me: Donnie Elbert's *other* Motown cover, "Can't Help Myself". What an odd, brief '70s career (tho' his first chart hit was in the '50s!). His falsetto on this one had to have inspired Sylvester's "Band of Gold/Can't Help Myself" medley years later.
-
Just logged on to a station in West Virginia that carries the Klassic Kasem '80s version -- it's Feb 18th, 1984 and Mr Joel's "An Innocent Man" is at #13. Shannon's "Let the Music Play", MJ's "Thriller", Nena and Culture Club yet to come.
ETA: "Thriller" enters the Top Ten in just its second week on the Hot 100, after debuting at #20!
-
Yikes, I'd forgotten just how sappy those Long-Distance Dedications were. At least this week's doesn't involve a dead dog ;)
-
It's anything but a Hot August Night, but that doesn't stop Barry Scott from kicking off tonight's Lost 45s with "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show." Boggling.
-
Got the First Edition's Partridge Family-esque "Something's Burning." True story: While on my way to work at Voice one day, noonish, I was walking through Washington Square Park, where I saw this gargantuan, disheveled man with headphones on, oblivious to everything around him. I moved closer as he began to stomp his feet:
*clomp clomp*
SOMETHING'S BURNING, he bellowed.
*clomp clomp*
An indelible memory.
Soon after and new to me: "Next Plane to London," by Rose Garden.

Your body! My body! Michael Zager's body! It's silly, but I don't know why some deem this a HFH.

Disco + Karen Carpenter: two great tastes that don't taste so great together. "My Body Keeps Changing My Mind" sounds like the mood music one would see on a 1979 TV show as a camera pans a coke 'n' champagne crowd and focuses out to the balcony.
