rice is nice, that's what they say: the Lemon Pipers' follow-up to "Green Tambourine" sounds, er, nice this morning on Offshore Radio.  As does Pet Clark's "Colour My World".

yikes, Harper's Bizarre doing "Chattanooga Choo-Choo". Bizarre indeed.

and speaking of bizarre: Bill Cosby's "Little Ole Man (Uptight, Everything is Alright)" is easily one of the worst hit singles by a non-singer celeb evah.

Have you ever heard his "Grover Henson Feels Forgotten"?  Powerfully sad.

I'll save that for Monday; I'm already powerfully sad enuf for one week.

But OMG JJ on KPOO is playing Richard "Dimples" Fields' "She's Got Papers on Me"!  The tirade at the end is just freakin' hilarious.  "and take yo' raggedy old component set -- that nevah worked! -- and SCAT!"

JJ is spending 2 hours playing nothing but songs that were on the Soul chart this week in 1970. Need I say that it has been utterly fabulous so far? Donny Hathaway's "The Ghetto" and the Chambers Bros. "Love Peace and Happiness" are highlights as we begin hour 2.

CBS-FM is doing its A-Z thing of playing one song for every letter (except X and Z), but got so caught up in the alphabet that they played two O'Jays songs within 20 minutes ("Use ta Be My Girl," "Back Stabbers").

Meant to mention that in the 2nd hour of JJ's this-week-in-1970 show, we got Lenny Welch doing Sedaka's "Breaking Up is hard to Do" as a ballad -- 5 years before Wacky Sedacky would do the same.

Interesting!  Name sounds familiar - who's Lenny Welch?
