KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 5/23/11

JJ scores as usual with Ace Spectrum's fab "Don't Send Nobody Else".

LAWD! Curtis, "Move on Up" -- this never fails to brighten my day. What a fabulous production.  Bite yo' lip, and take a trip!

JJ apparently isn't there in person today, but we're getting some stellar stuff nonetheless. The Independents' "Leaving Me" is sublime, and it's followed by my all-time-fave "Stoned Outta My Mind" by the Chi-Lites.

Another gem: Graham Central Station's "Your Love", a #1 R&B hit that barely scraped into the Pop Top 40 in '75.

la-la-la-la-LAH-la! JJ's hour ends with El DeB and Switch, "There'll Never Be". Swoon! 

El DeBarge: not to be confused with El Ka-Bongg!

And another gem: 95.3 The Range in Dallas -- an eclectic alt-country mix that includes everything from Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn to Drive-By Truckers.
