scooda-dooba-dweed-ow! Judge does an hour of Natalie Cole. "Mr Melody" sounds nice, as does "Our Love".
-
and now Ms Cole does her anti-feminismm rap. "Y'know... that women's liberation stuff... I don't think it's worth it." She's catchin' hell, all right.

A fab trip back to '67 on this week's CG retro-countdown:
great stuff -- highlights include Pet Clark, Nancy Sinatra (RIP Mr Hazelwood), Paul Jones (who had left Manfred Mann at that point), and Cat Steven's fab "Matthew & Son", a mini-masterpiece IMHO -- it sounds like a number from some lost musical.

I was more curious about
Jim Reeves - I Won't Come In While He's There
until I realized that the guy I thought was Jim Reeves is actually Jim Backus:

Percy's swingin' -- er, on the "Gallows Pole". A double-entendre that doubles back on itself!
-
WLNG plays the Shirelles' fab orig version of "Sha-La-la", later covered by... Manfred Mann? the DC5? Either way, I prefer Shirley and the gals, one you never hear.
Followed by -- Bam! right on! No questions asked! -- Lou Rawls. He a natch'l man! It's a new day, babies!

TANC of the Month -- as I was coming up out of BART at 24th & Mission an hour ago, a guy with an accordion was playing... "Sunshine Lollipops & Rainbows"!
-
OMG -- one of my fave forgotten Bread hits... and "Aubrey" is its name.
-
wow -- Jerry Butler's version of "Moon River". Still done as a straight-ahead ballad, but it wipes the floor with Andy Williams.
-
Mike, are you (or anyone for that matter) able to log into the CG live stream today? I've tried a couple of times and it just sits on 0% buffering (almost typed 'buggering', now wouldn't that have been a laugh?) with no progress. May have to go back to domestic streams for the afternoon.

"Bugger all" as they say in the UK... yup-- same problem here. Interestingly only the "listen now" option has trouble -- you can listen to last Friday's CGSS on the stored-show option , which *is* working. So presumably we can listen to today's show tomorrow. I'm settling for WLNG today. Coincidentally, I haven't been able to get the KCDX stream to work in over a month.
-
OMG! WLNG nugget o' the day: New Edition, "Cool it Now". Have not heard this since it was a hit.
-
Holy sh!t: January 15, 1972 finds Jerry Lee Lewis at No. 40 with a honky-tonked "Me & Bobby McGee," his first Top 40 in 10 years.
-
Heard Wilson Pickett's "Fire and Water" for the first time at 37. But the big OMGWTF of the week is "American Trilogy," not to be confused with "American City Suite." Mickey Newbury was apparently a prolific C/W songwriter of the period, but damn if I know a single thing he did.

Great God'o'mighty, boy! Make Gladys the woman you go home to, already!

Wikipedia says he wrote "Just Dropped in to See What Condition My Condition Was In"!
-
Oh my goodness, my gracious: Charley Pride's "Kiss an Angel Good Morning," which I haven't heard since I was a kid, followed by Sonny & Cher, "Aw, hon-NAY."
-
"Hey Big Brother" (Rare Earth) at 20 is new to me.

amazing indeed. His "San Francisco Mabel Joy" was covered by a bunch o' fokls, including Joan Baez -- it was almost as popular (covers-wise) as "Bobby McGee" back then. These early-'70s shows are truly mind-blowing. I see you got to hear "Once You Understand" -- luckily I was in transit when that happened ;)
-
oo! Honey Cone -- is it the "sookie-suck you" version?
ETA: Yes!

Casey quoted quite liberally from it!

MJ gives us kissin' when it's missin'! One of my fave forgotten J-5 hits, something of a comeback after "Maybe Tomorrow" failed to crack the Top Ten.

Too close to the formula for my ears, which I guess is why it outperformed "Maybe Tomorrow" (which I consider an unfairly lost gem, though it is florid and structurally weird).

gret stuff -- also covered by Free, post-"All Right Now".
-
Mike, I KNOW you're shakin' your ass right now. The Clean-Up Woman!
-
OMG! Donny O with one of his many MANY teen-dream late-'50s/early-'60s covers. (Speaking of formula!)
-

she swept me off mah feet-ah!

I'm not a big Donny Osmond fan, but the DeFrancos couldn't hold a candle to this.

more teen-dreaminess from MJ: "GTBT" (not to be confused with GLBT)
-
Got to be a record of some sort that three artists (MJ, DO, and David Cassidy) were in the Top 40 both as solo artists and with their bands.

Always bothers me that the pre-payoff "WORRRRLD" is flubbed when the doubled vocal tracks don't start in synch. But a gorgeous song otherwise.

indeed, and I can't recall anyone remarking on it before. Incredible.
More chart oddities: Bobby Womack was in the 40 the same week as Geils was covering his '60s Valentinos hit "Looking for a Love" -- did that inspire him to cover it himself? Also, at #41 this week (where, sadly, it peaked): Richard Harris' version of "My Boy".

Woo Hoo! Dennis Coffey. Ah likes mah Coffey like ah likes mah mens!

I never knew Larry Graham was Sly's cuz.

Neither did I, but Whitburn confirms. (I pulled the book off the shelf early and keep having reasons to not put it back.)
-
ah, naughty naughty Melanie. I'd forgotten this turned up in Boogie Nights until I watched it agin the other nite. Rollergirl rules!
-
so, now we get the "real meaning" of "Amer. Pie" straight from the McClean's mouth?

I thought he was all OOH MYSTIQUE about this back then? He's gotta be hedging his bets here.

hearing "Tupelo Honey" as an extra reminds me: Worst. Rhyme. EVAH! --"Men with insight/Men in gran-ite"

"He was pretty reluctant..."
so is it the loooooooooooooooooong version?
ETA: Nope -- jeez, you'd think with it being # 1 and all...

Not quite. Was that where the single flipped from (Part I) to (Part II), or was this a different just-for-radio edit?

And now I'll join you with Felix Hernandez until CGSS time.

I jumped to KFOG foir "Spy in the House of Love." Will go to Felix in a bit. Then off to work. :(

You Missed "The Message" by Cymande, an instrumental I hadn't heard since it was a semi-hit in '71 or '72. Got considerable NY airplay despite never making the Top 40.
-
OMFG! Bill Cosby ripping off Stevie with "Little Old man". One of the dumbest records ever to hit the Top Ten.
-
OMFG of the Morning goes to Al Green's take on "The Letter"! Hoo lawd! New to me, and totally fab.
-

I was confused by what was happening there. Odd record.
But yay for this cover of "The Letter," which owes everything to Le Co-KAIR.

Not only does it make no sense, it isn't funny either (considering it's Cosby, you'd expect it to be). The Cosby equivalent of "Party All the Time", I guess.

Over to CGSS, where Ree-Ree's an experienced girl who ain't nobody's fool -- so funk YOU!
-
CGSS plays Barbara Acklin's "Am I the Same Girl?", whose instrumental backing track was a hit separately as "Soulful Strut".
-
"one child grows up to be somebody you just love to burn." But blood's thicker than mud, Sly.
The genius of that stanza reveals itself more to me with each passing year.
-
Playing now on Barry Scott's Lost 45s: Donna Fargo, "The Happiest Girl in the Whole USA." The head, she spins. It's a skip-a-dee-doo-dah day!
-
Believe it or not, this is the first time I've ever heard Elton John's "I Feel Like a Bullet (In the Gun of Robert Ford)." It sounds like Elton's imitating Alice Cooper's imitations of Elton's balladry (see also: "You and Me," "I Never Cry").
-
Awww... "Funny Face," I love you.
Next week: 4 hours of story songs!
-
"Country Boy, You Got Your Feet in L.A.": the sequel of sorts to "Rhinestone Cowboy." Not quite as great for karaoke, though.
-
Wow, Rickie Lee Jones is a smug, arrogant bitch! She's like a less humble Joni Mitchell (yes, exactly). Bitch-slapped the Starland Vocal Band!

wow, that never occurred to me (probably because IFLAB(ITGORF) predates the Cooper tunes), but damned if you aren't dead on -- the similarity is obvious now. I'd hoped the EJ tune would play over the closing credits of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, but I guess it didn't fit the director's "vision".

Cue "The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia"!

Had to give props to Joel Selvin -- his theme last nite was "Fake Groups" -- fictional assemblages from Movies & TV:
Max Frost & the Troopers
The Wonders
Spinal Tap
The Commitments
Stillwater (Almost Famous)
The Barbusters (aka Joan Jett from Light of Day)
The Monkees (well, they were fake in the beginning, anyway)
I was forced to tune out when he played the Blues Bros "Gimme Some Lovin'", so I dunno if he played Pop! doing "Pop Goes My Heart"...
