NTM: the Fantastic Four, "You gave Me Something", one for the Faux-Town list, a somewhat low-rent Tempts ballad soundalike from 1967.

interesting "Behind the Hits" story on 'LNG of "Angel of the Morning". The orig version was by a woman named Evie Sands -- her single was released two weeks before the record company (Cameo-Parkway) went bankrupt!  So the producers decided to try again with Merilee Rush.

Did they mention who wrote the song? (that's one of my favorite bits of trivia)

yes, but they didn't go into who he's related to -- that's a "Behind the Hits" for another day, I guess.

another great Lesley Gore soundalike record: Patty Duke's "Don't Just Stand There", a ringer (melody-wise) for "You Don't Own Me".

OMGWTF -- the orig 1965 version of "The Way of Love" by Kathy Kirby! -- NTM, and she also keeps the gender-bending perspective just as Cher did.

'LNG plays a big Gaz fave: "Pilot of the Airwaves", which I haven't heard in many a moon.

Followed by a fab forgotten Fifth (Dimension): "Carpet Man".

I've never heard that.  Is it about Glenn Quagmire?  Giggity-giggity-goo!

'LNG plays Little Richard's cover of "Baby Face". Beats the Wing-and-a-Prayer version, but his lyric substitution -- he changes "warm embrace" to "FIRM embrace" -- is giving me an unwanted visual a bit too soon after breakfast.

I'll try to ignore the Family Guy ref, but you'd like "Carpet man", I think; it's the 5-D at their most Mamas-n-Papas-ish.
