Oh, Scelsa, you show-tune queen!

Ella, "This could be the start of something big"
West Side Story cast: "Something's Coming"
Dick Van Dyke (!): "Put on a Happy face"

and that Wizard of Oz song about being "out of the woods, out of the dark"...

what a lovely way to end the afternoon.

ETA: wait -- one more amazing track. Phil Ochs, "Power and Glory".  Wow.

Guess your workday was done, but the hits just kept on coming: the Ochs tune was followed by Stevie Wonder's For Once In My Life, a cover of Hungry Heart that I can't place the singer of, and This Land Is Your Land, which I suspect is done by its author, Woody Guthrie--it sounds like an archival recording.

ETA: Yep, that was Woody.

I also noted that Vin did *not* play John Lennon's Gimme Some Truth, as had become a weekly occurrence earlier this year. Wonder if this was the first week he'd not felt the need to play it?

and still more: "Love You Inside Out", a #1 single that you don't hear much these days, but boy I loved this back in '79.

Listening to a CG retro-countdown from '64 -- amazingly Shirley Bassey's version of "I Who have Nothing" is almost subdued compared to Tom Jones's.

La Bassey wouldn't do "Goldfinger" for another year, but here's Matt Munro doing "From Russia With Love"! Still wondering if Dave has another Bond Themes 10@10 in store for tomorrow.

Yikes, the Hollies (who I generally adore) with the worst cover of "Stay" I've ever heard.

Yikes 2: Big Dee Irwin's "Swinging on a Star", a childhood memory, and one of my very first mondegreens -- "carry moonbeams home in a jar" came across to my 8-year-old ears as "Cary Moonbeam's home in a jar". But who was Cary Moonbeam and why was he in a jar?

More Bond-ing on WLNG: Bassey returns with "Diamonds are Forever". Caress it and undress it!

Just switched over to London's Heart and their Club Classics. And...

KPOO's JJ is s-s-smokin' tonite...  a NTM William DeVaughn mid-charter, "Give the Little Man a Great Big Hand", followed by Sylvia & the Moments, "Sho 'Nuff Boogie", which I saw them do on a Classic Soul Train ep earlier this year.

OMFG: Barry Scott follows up his (online only, during the Christmas season, so you can catch it now on demand) current ep's play of the Luke and Laura wedding with a different (?) soap's "Think of Laura."  I can feel the painkillers through the radio waves!

Barry's playing the Tom Clay mash-up that we discussed at length recently.

I do believe "Think of Laura" was indeed used on GH; tho' it came some time after the wedding, iirc.

"Can somebody tell me what's got into her?"

Ladies and gentlemen, fill in that DJ schtick line from Tony O & Dawn's "Gypsy Rose" for 10 frink points!

Not without incurring a fine from the FCC.
