turned on KPOO in the middle of a cover version of "Native New Yorker" that wasn't ID'd... sounded like maybe it was Esther Phillips. New to me.  Princess? Gaz? ring a bell with either of you?

Well, Google and ye shall find. From a British soul website:

"The world lost a great singer in Esther Phillips back in 1984. Esther cut several albums that were, by and large, totally overlooked. It is only recently that these albums are being re-discovered and 'All About Esther Phillips' is one such album. Released back in 1978 on Mercury, there are several tracks worth buying this set for. Esther performs a fine version of Oyssey's 'Native New Yorker'..."

WLNG Nugget o' the Day: Herman's Hermits, "Dandy", a forgotten gem (and a Ray Davies composition to boot).

Thanks!  When I heard it I figured that growl was either Esther or Patti LaBelle.  "What a difference a Native NY'er makes..."

Sorry I didn't make it the other nite.  I got so comfortable on the couch watching the World Series with a glass of Chard that I just didn't want to move.

GAZ! WLNG is playing "1900 Yesterday".  Probably the only station in America that plays it outside of a Dick Bartley show.

Afterward, the jock came on and said "when we say we play forgotten 45s... we really mean FORGOTTEN!"

Holy shit, Liz Damon's Orient Express.  (Any relation to Johnny, I wonder?)  Delightful.

And I'm gonna start charging you demerits every time you accuse Roberta Flack of (coaxing/pushing/inspiring) Donny Hathaway About Her out the window!

That indeed is where Mr Tex got it -- it was 1977.

Go Greg -- he's playing "Say it Loud" in honor of Rosa Parks.
