scooda-dooba-dweed-ow!  Judge does an hour of Natalie Cole. "Mr Melody" sounds nice, as does "Our Love".

and now Ms Cole does her anti-feminismm rap. "Y'know... that women's liberation stuff...  I don't think it's worth it."   She's catchin' hell, all right.

great stuff -- highlights include Pet Clark, Nancy Sinatra (RIP Mr Hazelwood), Paul Jones (who had left Manfred Mann at that point), and Cat Steven's fab "Matthew & Son", a mini-masterpiece IMHO -- it sounds like a number from some lost musical.

I was more curious about

Jim Reeves - I Won't Come In While He's There

until I realized that the guy I thought was Jim Reeves is actually Jim Backus:

Percy's swingin' -- er, on the "Gallows Pole". A double-entendre that doubles back on itself!

WLNG plays the Shirelles' fab orig version of "Sha-La-la", later covered by... Manfred Mann? the DC5?  Either way, I prefer Shirley and the gals, one you never hear.

Followed by -- Bam! right on! No questions asked! -- Lou Rawls. He a natch'l man! It's a new day, babies!

wow -- Jerry Butler's version of "Moon River". Still done as a straight-ahead ballad, but it wipes the floor with Andy Williams.

Mike, are you (or anyone for that matter) able to log into the CG live stream today? I've tried a couple of times and it just sits on 0% buffering (almost typed 'buggering', now wouldn't that have been a laugh?) with no progress. May have to go back to domestic streams for the afternoon.
Let's get right to it.

"Bugger all" as they say in the UK... yup-- same problem here.  Interestingly only the "listen now" option has trouble -- you can listen to last Friday's CGSS on the stored-show option , which *is* working.  So presumably we can listen to today's show tomorrow.  I'm settling for WLNG today. Coincidentally, I haven't been able to get the KCDX stream to work in over a month.

Holy sh!t: January 15, 1972 finds Jerry Lee Lewis at No. 40 with a honky-tonked "Me & Bobby McGee," his first Top 40 in 10 years.
