Looking forward to Judge's salute to 1976 at noon.

Looking forward to Judge's salute to 1976 at noon.
and I'm rewarded with the 5th Dimension's ill-fated version of "Love Hangover" -- it hit the chart the same week as Miss Ross' take, and hers soon became a smash, leaving the (now Marilyn McCoo-less) 5-D in the dust. But the versions are amazingly similar, as if both acts were imitating the same demo. One of the great pop-trivia oddities of the decade.

Lawd! Bobby W sees "Daylight". Why this was not a pop hit remains a mystery.
-
Judge plays William Bell's "Tryin to Love Two" which i remember as being from '77, not '76.
But he recovers with a local white boy name of Scaggs. "What Can I Say?"
-
WTF? a trailer for Dr Black and Mr Hyde! "Don't give him no sass... or he'll kick yo' ass!"
-
ooo! Ms. Summer has a "Spring Affair", and here's some funky disco thang with someone playing vibes -- Roy Ayers?
ETA: yup, 'twas he. Followed by obscure Philly Soul: Double Exposure, "Ten Percent" (NOT a gay reference).
-
Judge's first dud of the afternoon: Bill Cosby's awful Barry White parody, "Yes Yes Yes".
-
I don't mind Judge playing white people -- we've heard the Stones and Boz Scaggs so far -- but I draw the line at Mickey Thomas/Elvin Bishop.
-
she was a disco queen! she came from New Crleans! "Catfish" makes the Four Tops' collective nature rise.
-
Long-forgotten disco (and the flashback of the day): Bumblebee Unltd, "Love Bug" -- "I'm gonna sting you with my love", a common lyrical trope in gay disco hits of the period (see also: Gloria Gaynor, "Honeybee").
-
another unjustly forgotten nugget: AWB's rather EWF-ish "Queen of My Soul"
-
Damn I wish JJ was on KPOO *every* morning.
Brenda Holloway's orig version of "You've Made Me So Very Happy". BS&T and DCT: eat yer hearts out.
-
lawd! "The Chokin' Kind" followed by "Can I Change My Mind?"
"if you don't like the peach
walk on by the tree"
-
Am I psychic? This morning on BART, for no real reason, Mark Lindsay's "Arizona" popped into my head. And now here's Mr Lindsay on WLNG, postin' a poster of Pancho & Cisco, one California day.

Listening to Li'l Steven's show, it's another of his Songwriter Salutes, this week he's doing Lieber & Stoller, Jackie DeShannon and Bert Burns. Burns wrote among other things "Here Comes The Night", made famous by Them but Steven played the original version by... Lulu! NTM and I am (you guessed it) utterly gobsmacked.

KPOO's Thursday morning oldies guy has broken out the Xmas tunes: the O'Jays, "Xmas Just Ain't Xmas (Without the One You Love)", always a fave.
And OMG it's Bobby W's version of "Fly Me To The Moon"!

I heard some of this show today and was digging it. KPOO is awesome.

Offshore Radio unearths Showaddywaddy (aka ShaNaNa without the subtlety), "Hey RockNRoll". Yikes those wacky Brits had some horrible taste in the '70s.
