Listening to the Saturday CGSS: NTM, a reggaefied cover of Blue Magic's "Sideshow" by someone named Barry Biggs.
-
Lawd! Greg plays Barbara Acklin's "Am I the Same Girl", which is Young-Holt Unltd's "Soulful Strut" with lyrics. Fab in either incarnation. Swingout Sister did a nice late-'80s cover of this too.

As did Dusty Springfield, who apparently covered 3/5 of everything in the late '60s.

"Cat! We need you to rap!" ('cause Prince can't rap to save his life -- now run and tell yo' mamma 'bout DAT!)
-
"Cat! We need you to rap!" ('cause Prince can't rap to save his life -- now run and tell yo' mamma 'bout DAT!)
Neither could his NPG rapper, Tony Z.
-
OMFG! Billy Preston's "That's The way God Planned It" -- an FM staple in the '70s that you NEVER hear any more.
-
OMFG2: Hues Corp, "Freedom For the Stallion".
-
WTF-of-the-Day: WLNG's Wed morning specialty oldiies show just played ABBA doing "Waterloo" in German!
-
WLNG pulling out its usual share of nuggets: Miriam Makeba's great "Pata Pata" and Sopwith Camel's goofy retro-'20s "Hello Hello".
-
WLNG plays a Paul Revere rarity: "Ups'n'Downs"
-
Highlight of a fine WLNG afternoon:
(http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jasonally/cher.jpg)
followed, in true 'LNG fashion, by the Polish Prince himself, "My Melody of Love".
-
Holy s--t! The Box Tops, "I Met Her in Church" -- haven't heard this in decades.
-
CGSS gets all "todo da bien Chevrolet" on yo' ass.
-
More Bohannon for Gaz: everybody do the "Disco Stomp"!
-
NTM: a disco-ized cover of Santana's "Jingo" by an outfit called Candido (who?), circa '79/'80. Musta been a UK club hit, it doesn't seem to have charted.
-
Lawd! BoyzIIMen, "Motownphilly", which would've salvaged Dave's '91 set yesterday.
-
shabba-dood'n-da-dweedah! Ree-Ree jumps to it, givin' us the 4-1-1 on who drop-kicked who this week.
-
Over to JJ's '70s party in time for Foster Sylvers' "Misdemeanor".
Followed by 2nd-appearances-of-the-evening for the Detroit Emeralds ("Wear this Ring With Love") and the O'Jays (the fabulous pre-Philly Int'l "Deeper in Love With You").
...and now we get all smoochy with the Dells' "The Love We Had (Stays on My Mind)".
-
OMFG and NTM: Esther Phillips' doing a distaff cover of Eddie Floyd's "Never Found a Girl (Man) To Love Me Like You Do".
-
Another highlight: JJ fave (he plays it regularly) "I'm Not In Love" -- the soulful cover version by DeeDee Sharp Gamble.
-
Talk about a climax! JJ ends his '70s segment with this Grand Slam:
1. Sweet Sensation, "Sad Sweet Dreamer"
2. Sister Sledge, "Love, Don't You Go Thru No Changes on Me", their first charted single from '74 -- fab early Philly disco.
3. David Ruffin, "Everything's Coming Up Love", a soundalike follow-up to "Walk Away From Love".
4. The Whispers, "Make it With You", yes, the Bread tune done 1977 disco style.
I'm exhausted!

Mike, you'd've been proud of the Lost 45s voters this year; they put "That's Rock & Roll" at #15.
Two Bay City Rollers songs made the Top 100 - and neither was S! A! T-U-R! D-A-Y! NIGHT!

I'll take "underrated pop singles of the '70s" for 500, Alex!
I was doing college radio the summer of '77; did a Top 40 show one afternoon a week. We all HATED Cassidy's "Da Doo Ron Ron" remake ("if Phil Spector were dead he'd be rolling over in his grave") but the 2 Eric Carmen covers totally redeemed him. BTW, you've heard Carmen's own "Hey Deanie", yes?
I've gotta believe one of the 2 BCR tunes was "You Made Me Believe in Magic"; what was the other?

Their cover of "I Only Wanna Be With You," oddly enough. I would've preferred "Bye Bye Baby Bye Bye."
I've heard lots of SC's "Hey Deanie" but not EC's own version; my brother (1.5 yrs older than me) had SC's album when it came out. He dug Cassidy, Frampton, and KISS, while I was into Manilow and the Beatles.
So, in case you're curious, here are the top 5 Lost 45s:
5. Cher, "Dark Lady"
4. Joey Starbury, "Theme From 'Greatest American Hero' (Believe It or Not)"
3. Edward Bear, "Last Song"
2. Daniel Boone, "Beautiful Sunday"
1. Paper Lace, "The Night Chicago Died"
