DJ Marilynn on KPOO is on one of her Ree-Ree jags -- which is lifting my spirits immensely.
BOS to Aretha's fabulous cover of "Tracks of My Tears". My my my.
-
Judge kicks off with someone I don't recognize covering the Impressions' "Check Out Your Mind".
ETA: Judge says it was Maxanne -- a person? a group? hard to say.
-
Lawd! the Three Degrees team up with MFSB on "Love is the Message".
-
disco obscurities time: Bumblebee Unltd, "Love Bug" ("I'll sting you with my love" -- sorry, Gloria Gaynor used that trope first and better with "Honeybee")
-
JJ plays an intriguing rarity: Gene Chandler's "You Threw a Lucky Punch", his answer record to Mary Wells' "You Beat Me To The Punch"
"It was a TKO --
You made me love you so"
-
JJ closes out with Martha/Vandellas, "Honey Child" -- 'bout to drive me wild!
-
thanks to Greg on CGSS, it's twice in one week for Dee Dee Sharp-Gamble's soulful cover of "I'm Not in Love".
"It's be-cauuuuuuusssse!"
-
And now Eddie K lets his love flood yo' watergate!

Holy flaming mother of pop! NTM on WLNG and one Gaz needs to check out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcZofBZFaEc&feature=related
It's Lee Mallory's "That's the Way It's Gonna Be" -- a Phil Ochs composition (!) gone sunshiny. Amazing. Produced, I'm told, by the Association's producer, and it shows.
-
WLNG Nugget of the Day: the Billy Vera version of "With Pen in Hand", also done by Bobby Goldsboro and Vikki Carr.

I've only ever heard the Vikki Carr version, which I love. Her voice could cut through metal.

Wow, this is amazing. The arrangement seems also informed by Love's garage take on "My Little Red Book." What a phenomenal production. Thanks!
PS: I'm dying to know who embodies the Holy Flaming Mother of Pop.

I meant Holy Flaming Mother of Pop Argot ;)
and the TANC's just keep on comin' -- my buddy Brian Bannon on WLNG plays Expose's "Point of No Return" (the '87 remix, he sez).
-
another great nugget: Whinyface Elliman's '77 remake of "Hello Stranger" -- been ages since I've heard this.
Followed by the Dells' fabulously Faux-town "With This Ring". Levi Stubbs MUSTA been jealous when he heard this.
-
yikes, Elvis Presley's cover of "Until it's Time For You To Go" from '72, easily one of his worst perfs -- a vocal so affected it sounds like someone doing a cheezy Elvis parody.
-
The Jacksons' shoulda-been-bigger "Torture" -- haven't heard this on the radio since it was new.
-
Holy crap! Tom & Jerry (aka Simon & Garfunkel) and their Everlys knockoff, "Hey Schoolgirl". Woo-poppa-loochie-pah!
Followed by Charlie Daniels making fun of what would later become his fan base.
-
CBS-FM doing an interesting thing today: They recently did Top 101 Songs of each decade ('60s, '70s, '80s) and now the're counting down each list concurrently: we just heard #79 from each decade (Richard Harris "MacArthur park", J-5 "Dancing Machine", and TFF "Shout") and next we'll get all 3 #78s (Supremes, Manilow, and Blondie) and so on. Kinda cool.

"It from me!
It's for you!
It's from you!
It's for me!
It's a world-wide sym-fo-neeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
Barry writes the songs in a song he didn't write.
-
childhood memory: Mr. Acker Bilk's "Stranger on the Shore".
-
TANC: fresh from a Gaz blog post, heeeere's Paper Lace.

CGSS follows a J-5 rarity, "Skywriter", with Disc-O-Texx's even-worse-than-"Get Dancin'" semi-hit, "I Wanna Dance Witchoo". His chiffon was still wet.

"We spent the night in 'Frisco
Macaulay brought the Crisco"
MJ starts off JJ's '70s party by blamin' it on da boogie. And the media. And Sony.
-
back-to-back rarities from JJ: the Manhattans' 1974 "Don't Take Your Love" and Edwin Starr's "Time", his single immediately preceding "War".

and now the Sisters Sledge arrive with the 2nd "Disco/'Frisco" rhyming of the evening. Guess JJ just couldn't resist.
