Judge celebrates MLK Day with 4 hours of Philly Soul!  "Time To Get Down" indeed.

a record I never get tired of: NYC's "I'm Doin' Fine".  Followed by "Armed & Extremely Dangerous", and Judge sez both singles were released on the same day in March 1973 -- if so, the latter took a lot longer to make its way up the charts.

Another highlight: Teddy P's nasty, muscular "I Don't Love You Anymore" -- his first solo single in 1977, and why it wasn't a big pop hit is beyond me.

CGSS plays Dee Dee Sharp-Gamble's slow/sexy/soulful cover of 10cc's "I'm Not in Love". A little-heard gem.

CBS-FM is saluting OHW's today, and after playing R Dean Taylor's "Indiana Wants Me", Bob Shannon plays one of the songs he wrote for Motown: the 4 Tops' "I'll Turn to Stone", which I didn't know was one of his.  So *he's* the guy who shoulda sued the Foundations for "Build Me Up Buttercup"...

04 Ringo Starr - You're Sixteen
05.Alvin Stardust - Jealous Mind

17. Lena Zavaroni - Ma (He's Making Eyes At Me)
18. The Carpenters - Jambalaya

I was looking forward to the Carpenters version of "Jambalaya" (!) which I've never heard, but they screwed up and played the wrong record.

Paper Lace did Billy, Don't Be A Hero? I just know them for The Night Chicago Died. And of course the Bo Donaldson version of Billy.... But that's the British charts for ya.
Let's get right to it.

Yup -- Bo Donaldson & Co rushed out their cover and it rocketed up the US charts; it's generally thought that "The Night Chicago Died" was a hit here because Paper Lace were "owed".

New to me: Barry Blue's "School Love" another of the many (too many) '50s pastiches that the Brits were entirely too fond of in the mid-'70s.

TANC: 2 songs about dead actresses back-to-back: a good one ("Candle in the Wind") and an awful one ("Emma").
