Dirty blues on KPOO! With a food theme, no less...
"Keep on Churnin' 'til the Butter Comes"
"I Like My Baby's Puddin'"
Oh My!
-
KPOO's Judge plays my favorite OJays song that didn't crossover to pop: "Your Body's Here With Me (But Your Mind is on the Other Side of Town)".
-
A Prince double play! "Uptown" (White, Black, Puerto Rican/
Everybody just a-freakin') followed by "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad".
His Purpleness rules!
-
Judge pulls out Diana's "Muscles" (penned by MJ) -- can't remember WHEN I last heard this.
Pulling Muscles for Miss Ross?
-
I tuned in to CG this afternoon just in time to hear, for the first time ever, Lou Reed's "Perfect Day."
Which is about the last thing I needed to hear. Wounded me.
-
A little bit of JJ's Tues morning thang on KPOO: the original version of "Walk Right In" by the Moments (? -- the same Moments who did "Love on a 2-Way Street"?), which is not all that different from the whitebread version that was a big hit for the Rooftop Singers.
And Ketty Lester's "Love Letters"!
-
OMG! Dean on CG is playing Scott English's "Brandy" from 1972, later changed to "Mandy" by Barry Manilow. I haven't heard this in ages.
-
CG plays R Dean Taylor's "Ghost in my House", one of 4 Top 40 hits he had in the UK -- he had to settle for being a one-hit-wonder over here with "Indiana Wants Me".
-
and now a Thin Lizzy song I'd never heard: "Sarah".
-
WLNG Nugget o' the Day: Mr Ruffin, "Walk Away From Love".
Nugget #2 -- OMGWTFLOL! -- "The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia".
-
Couldn't decide where to put this, but I'm listening to the last hour of Little Steven's show from this weekend, and he celebrated Richie Havens' birthday (Sat 1/21) by playing his cover of "No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed". Very nice. Take a good look at yourself, indeed.
-
WLNF Nugget o'the Day: "Witchita Lineman".
-
CG playing the wicked Pickett
-
CG playing the wicked Pickett
Annalisa too! But I'll be over ther in a jif.
-
Oh MY! loads o' Pickett on CG. "I'm a Midnite Mover". Sweet soul talker!
-
wow, Greg's doing a full-on salute to WP. "Engine Engine #9", haven't heard this in ages.
and "Dont Let The Green Grass Fool Ya"! Awesome.
-
Yay! "Hey Jude"! Hope yer still logged on, Ali!

HEY JUDE
my first time hearing the non-Beatles tune.
Nice. I want

Damn. Wickedly GOOOOD.

Just tuned in for the last minute or two--MAN!!!
Have to hunt up a copy of this.

Have to hunt up a copy of this.
It's definitely on any decent anthology of his (didn't Rhino do one?) along with "Sugar Sugar" and the "Mama Told Me..." cover Annalisa played. All 3 were on a double-LP GH that Atlantic put out in the '70s which I have on vinyl.
I'm pretty sure it's on that R&B Beatle covers CD that's floating around.
-
I meant to mention the only time I saw Mr Pickett live. Early '80s at the Palladium in NYC (a Warfield-type theater, a bit bigger). He opened for James Brown, the only time I've ever seen JB as well. He was wearing the tightest pair of tan leather pants you ever did see. he turned around to shake his butt for the crowd and on his left cheek was embroidered a "W", on his right a "P". Great stuff.
-
ooo! KC, "Give It Up" his sorta-comeback record from '83/'84. A huge #1 hit in the UK, it struggled into the top 20 over here.

I've got to check my soul compilations before I go shopping--it may be on either of the Rhino 60s or 70s boxes that I bring up periodically here. Or, was WP on Stax? I've got one of the Stax-Volt boxes too, so that's a possibilty too.

No, he was Atlantic.

Greg played the original Narada, and told a story of how he assumed it was pronounced Na-RA-da, until the man himself corrected him, "I pronounce it NARR-da". "Pardon me," thought Greg -- "if it's prounounced that way, whythehell don'cha spell it that way?" LOL!
-
WLNG Nugget o' the Day: Cher, "The Way of Love".
-
checkin' out JJ on KPOO: new En Vogue -- doin' a remake of "Do it Any Way You Wanna".
Followed by Slave, "Watchin ' You". with the naked eye, baby, whoa!
and here's Mr Pickett -- "you're the Love of my Life" (?), a new one on me, later-period Pickett perhaps. Which reminds me, Brad Kava in his tribute today in the Merc mentioned a comeback album he made in 1999 that Kava says was quite good -- that one totally missed my radar. Anybody?
ooo! here's "I'm in Love", also done by Ree-Ree.

Mostly because of distribution problems, the challenge facing any independent release. Had he been on a major with attention, it'd've gone Top 5.

I'm listening to JJ on KPOO, he's sprinkling his show with Pickett stuff -- right now I'm hearing a swingin', full orchestra cover of "Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You" by the Spinners (!). Have no idea where it's from, but I like it.
JJ must be reading my mind tonite: Freda Payne, "Bring the Boys Home", which I'd've preferred to "Band of Gold" Friday, and the Chi-Lites "Power to the People", which kicks ass compared to "Have You Seen Her?"
And now, continuing the Pickett parade: Marvin & Diana's version of "Don't Knock My Love", which I haven't heard since '74. Good God A'mighty, lawd!
-
More Pickett picks: Wilson returning the favor to the Rascals (who covered "Midnite Hour") by doing his version of "Groovin"! And here's "Fire & Water", his last Pop Top 40 hit.
BTW, I was right, his "Hey Jude" is on Rubber Souled, a collection of R&B Beatle covers, along with such delights as Otis doing "Day Tripper", Al Green on "I want To Hold Your hand", and Ike & Tina's "Come Together" (which they were probably no longer doing by the time they got around to that one).
-
First dud of the night: "Mr Magic Man", Mr Pickett's debut single forRCA in 1974. No surprise that it flopped on the pop chart -- not even he could get away with lyrics like "ala-kazip-kazam". Yeesh.
Ah, but here's what I've been waiting for: "Sugar Sugar". Sublime.
OMG! Candi Staten Island, "Victim".
