BOS2: Gladys, "On & On", a fab Curtis Mayfield composition from the Claudine soundtrack.

BOS2 to the Staple Singers.

Dave must have a new Staples compilation--this is the second or third non-standard (i.e. not I'll Take You There or Respect Yourself) SS track we've heard in the last few weeks.

That was Gladys? Mea culpa--Sounded like Mavis Staples to me, but as always, I'm never the authority on these things.

Bet this gets the popular BOS vote.

Surprised we didn't hear Todd Rundgren in this set. Just One Victory woulda been a natural.

Hey Rod, when we heard "Lawyers In Love" earlier this morning it struck me that each verse would make a good sig for you:

Am I the only one who hears the screams
And the strangled cries of...Flem59

or

Waiting for World War III while Jesus slaves
To the mating calls of...Flem59

or

And I hear the U.S.S.R. will be open soon
As vacation land for...Flem59

LOL.  I like the second one.  But, really, I don't think I can associate myself with Jackson Browne -- I'm with POC on this one.

I only heard the backsell, and was sure Rod would've BOS'ed Robin Trower; just goes to show...

Well, it's the rarity of the JB tune that pushed it over the top.  "Bridge of Sighs" is a favorite, and something a little less obvious off the album (say, "A Little Bit of Sympathy" or "Too Rolling Stoned") would have defeated JB.
