CG/KPOO/WLNG Week of 12/5

[RGMike]

on CG: early Alan Price -- an upbeat cover of "Hi Lilli Hi Lilli Hi Lo" (!)

[RGMike]

oo! T'Pau with their other hit, "China In Your Hand", a Brit #1 that inexplicably flopped stateside.

[RGMike]

Here come the Judge on KPOO -- with Miss Gloria Gaynor singin' 'bout that no-good, jive-time "Casanova Brown".

Follwed by Lionel Ritchie when he was good.

[RGMike]

One of my fave lesser-played Stylistics tunes: "Heavy Fallin' Out".

[RGMike]

TANC: on CG, John's "Stand By Me"

[RGMike]

oo! Style Council, "Shout To The Top".  One you never hear in the U.S.

[RGMike]

OMG! the Cilla Black version of "Alfie".

[RGMike]

WLNG Nugget o' the Day: Sandie Shaw, "Girl Don't Come", which oddly CG never plays.

ETA: and followed by Nancy Sinatra, "You Only Live Twice", memorably sampled by Robbie Williams' "Millennium".

ETA2: and that was followed by Carly, "Anticipation".  That's a trifecta of wonderful underplayed songs.

[RGMike]

yet another Nugget: Godspell, "Day By Day". What an amazing radio station.

I read a review in the NYTimes of her performance with her kids (that I believe Gaz wrote an advance of for the Voice, but I digress) that happened to jog my memory to her sublime "That's the Way I Always Heard It Should Be"--haven't heard that in years. She's another artist that DM would do well to revisit in some early 70s 10@10 sets. She was huge in the first part of that decade (and since I know Mshray will remind us if I don't, quite well put together too.)

And she still looks pretty good -- she (like everyone else) has a PBS concert/pledge month thingy airing currently.

And yes, she's another big '70s female artist (like the Mses King & Ronstadt) that Dave tends to mostly ignore. "That's the Way..." used to appear in the "Love Stinks" Valentine's set back in the day, but he's never played "Anticipation" or anything from No Secrets except maybe "You're So Vain".  My personal fave: the lovely "Comin' Around Again", which would be a godsend in one of Dave's Katrina-laden 1986 or '87 sets.

[RGMike]

on CG, Rita Coolidge's finest hour: "We're All Alone".

[RGMike]

CG is counting down the Top 50 Cover Versions of Beatles Songs!
