CG/KPOO/VIP/WLNG etc Week of 5/22/06

[RGMike]

Judge spins Patti LaBelle, "It's a Joy to Have Your Love" -- her first solo single from 1977!

[RGMike]

out of left field: The Wannabes and the Jigaboos (from the sndtk of School Daze).

and OMG -- followed by the Clark Sisters, "You Brought the Sunshine", which I haven't heard since it was a WBLS playlist staple in the early '80s.

[RGMike]

the loooooooooooooong (and I mean loooooooooooooong) version of "Love to Love You Baby" -- an entire LP side back in the day iirc.

[RGMike]

one of Judge's rare clunkers: Band of Gold's "Love Songs Are Back Again", a lame (and endless) "medley" record with soundalikes for the Stylistics, Blue Magic, the Manhattans etc singing snippets of hits.  Sheer torture.

[RGMike]

OMGWTFLOL! Judge plays Richard "Dimples" Fields "She's Got Papers", followed by Barbara Mason's answer record "She's Got the Papers, but I Got the Man"!!

[RGMike]

CGSS's Greg is subbing for Dean on the Jukebox this week.

[RGMike]

OMGWTF! Goldie & the Gingerbreads (featuring a very young Genya Ravan) doing their cover of Herman's Hermit's "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat?"

[RGMike]

Mercy sakes alive! Greg fulfills a request for "Convoy"! That's a big 10-4!

[Gazoo]

I was VIP'ing this afternoon.  Heard the original "See Saw" -- Don Covay?  Whoever it was, someone should tell him that see saws don't go "up, down, all around" unless they're broken.

This post is going into the dictionary next to the word "nitpick" :wink:

[Gazoo]

OMGWTF: "A Ladies' Man" by the Volcanos.  Makes "Cool Jerk" seem stoic.

[Gazoo]

Stunner of an obscurity: "Let Our Love Grow Higher" by Eula Cooper.  She's a little high-strung but oh those congas, oh those strings.

[RGMike]

I can't tune away from Greg, not when he's playing Ms Branagan's "Gloria".

followed by Jim Capaldi's very upbeat version of "Love Hurts"

[RGMike]

WLNG Nugget o' the Day: Lesley Gore, "California Nights".

Nugget #2, The Buckinghams' "Susan" -- the looong version with the weirdass sound effects.

Both major faves of mine, especially the Gore sunshine pop (written by Marvin Hamlisch!).
