25 Sept 2009: 1972!

[RGMike]

Obscure T-Rex?  Don't know this one.

It hit #2 on the charts, but it was a stand alone single, not an album release.

And appeared once before on 10@10, to my surprise--I'd have pegging this as a bustout.

and that was the UK chart it hit #2 on. On this side of the pond... nada.

I would really have liked to have heard 3,4,5,6,78, and the bonus!

Is this the TOP horns on Honky Cat, or just some session cats?

ETA: AMG says the latter.  Never mind that -- I'm gonna see TOP and AWB tonight!  So get the funk out ma face!

Speak TOP's name...and TOP shall appear. BOS3.

You're still a young man, baby.

On the replay, I'm really struck by that great little crack in Lenny's voice when he sings, "when a man comes to you / with his little heart in his hands."  Teddy Pendergrass could muster half as much nuance in his testifying.

BOS to Tower of Power

Song I'd love to hear in a 1972 10@10 but probably won't:

"My Ding-A-Ling" by Chuck Berry.

1972 is a toughie for this category - most of what I'd want to hear are de facto 10@10 candidates. Actually, that would be true for almost any year before that as well.
