Boz?

"Please Mister Please" was one of the soft-rock classics I imported from my brother's CD library while I was in Pittsburgh.  I'll have to make the list -- but it's lots of ONJ, Air Supply, Boz Scaggs, Andy Gibb, and little bits of Player, ED&JFC, David Gates, and Hall & Oates.

I'm such a sap, too.

Is Boz that poorly understood?  :lol:

OMG, it's Jose Feliciano's "High Heel Sneakers", his sadly ignored follow-up to "Light My Fire".

and only on 'LNG could that be followed by the Turtles "She's My Girl". Mornin', Mornin' Glory!

I just tuned in to one of AccuRadio's new soul-themed channels, focused on 1966-1972.  (I like their sense of divisions.)  First song was one I'd never heard, a guy sounding like Joe Tex (probably him) singing with a leer what I could swear was the line, "I'm gonna steal your garter."  Wha-wha-WHAAAH?


I'm guessing that "garter" was "daughter", which would make it Wilson Pickett.

I'm listening to that channel right now, it could replace VIP if they don't get their technical shit together.

and as if on cue, the song in question appears, and yes it's the Wicked One.  Followed by Lynda Lyndell, "What a Man", later sampled by Salt'n'Pepa.

kinda fun.  The 60's channel is a little clichéd, but listening to Vanilla Fudge is a hoot anyway!  "Get outta my life, why doncha babe!"

Hee!  Point taken, but sorry, I cherry-picked his soft-rockers: "We're All Alone" (yes, Kermit voice and all), "You Can Have Me Anytime," and "Look What You've Done to Me."  Tell me those aren't interchangeable with Barry Manilow's ballads of the period.

I'd never considered it, but yeah, any of 'em coulda been covered by Barry in his inimitably overproduced style.  Guess Rita Coolidge beat him to "We're All Alone"...

CGSS: one of my very fave Kid Creole songs, "Annie I'm not Your Daddy"

"'cause if I was in your blood
then you wouldn't be so ugly!"

August Darnell: underacknowledged genius.

"push push in the bush" -- one of those rare explicitly heterosexual disco songs.

OMGWTF: Lionel Richie, "Running With the Night."  I loved that so much in my Solid Gold formative years.

Hey, who's this, "Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers"?  It sounds about 1971, bits of the Corporation and Philly Soul in the production, and bits of Chi-Lites and J5 and Stevie (his cookie-monster growl, anyway) in the lead vocal.

I think it sounds like the Isleys, but it's the Chairmen of the Board -- that must not be General Johnson on lead vocals. (and indeed it's '71 or '72)

ReeRee! Drop the top, baby!

have things cooled down in the Apple?
