Sunday: 1.) Africa Gone Funky -- Screaming Jay Hawkins -- Madness from a guy known for nothing else. 2.) Don't Worry 'Bout Strangers -- Mildred Bailey -- "Don't worry bout strangers, keep your eye on your best friend." Good advice from a lady who lived large. 3.) Bloodshot Eyes -- Wynonie Harris -- another pre-Elvis & Berry rock and roll record, and one of the best. 4.) Down In the Valley -- Ray Charles -- he could sing the phone book and make you cry, and here gives an old chestnut the full treatment. Why his part in the creation of rock and roll is a secret is over my head. Did they not play his stuff in Middle America? He was the first to merge gospel with country and get big hits, at least where I grew up. 5.) Blow Your Whistle -- Chuck Brown -- the inventor of go-go jazz at his funkiest. If you haven't heard him give him a spin. All the compilations are great. 6.) Playing With the Strings -- Lonnie Johnson -- some of the fanciest fretwork ever. This guy regularly did the impossible, and, though he started in the Twenties, his contribution to early rock n roll was incalculable. 7.) Why Shouldn't I? -- Lee Wiley -- I think she was the first to dust off this old Cole Porter tune which became a standard thereafter. Love her voice. |

Monday! 1.) Advanced Funk -- Maceo Parker -- after James Brown lost his nerve, Maceo continued to keep the faith as in this live big band cut from the "Roots and Grooves" set. 2.) Homesick Blues -- Charles Brown -- mellow West Coast late-night blues from the Capitol label back when Johnny Mercer was hip to the L.A. hipsters. 3.) Memo to My Son -- Randy Newman -- this song's too cynical to believe its own cynicism. His songs about his kid never fail to creep me out. 4.) Don't Stop the Meter, Mack -- Dan Hicks -- a catchy new tune from the master of irony, about a jealous guy who maybe wants to shoot his girl. 5.) I've Got an Uncle In Harlem -- Hot Lips Page -- alternate take of a catchy jump blues by a master of the form sounds just like the other one. 6.) Let's Get It On -- Marvin Gaye -- Can't think of anything to say about this masterpiece except it's a masterpiece. Gaye could really do it when he took a notion. 7.) I Was a Little Too Lonely -- Nat King Cole -- Rapturous, swinging jazz from After Midnight, one of the great Capitol albums. |

Tuesday: 1.) Countin' the Blues -- Ma Rainey -- don't remember ever listening to her before. She's great. Poorly recorded though. 2.) I Gotcha -- Joe Tex trying to put the hoodoo on a girl. 3.) Shake Your Hips -- Stones' excellent cover of the Slim Harpo blues classic. 4.) Whipping Post -- Bonerama -- five trombones and a great drummer tear the Allman Brothers standard down; one of the greatest cuts ever. 5.) She Put the Hurt On Me -- Prince La La -- party sounds from the Crescent City. 6.) Mr. Crump Don't Like It -- Beale Street Sheiks -- Mayor Crump closed the brothels and bars to the dismay of a lot of blues and jazz players. This is some of that dismay. 7.) Burning Down the House -- Talking Heads -- Funk for white people. |

Interesting how this thread goes on - Thanks! The Chiffons the best girl group? Hmmm. Have to think about that (as you noted, the Ronettes are my faves)... But off the top of my head, I would think the BEST is the Shirelles. Okay, here's my seven for today... 1. I'm Ready (Fats Domino) 2. Superman (Stereophonics) 3. Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (Andrews Sisters) 4. Right Place, Wrong Time (Dr. John) 5. Only the Lonely (Roy Orbison) 6. This Old Heart of Mine (Isley Brothers) 7. G.T.O. (Ronny & Daytonas) Seven songs I love. So there ya go... Let's see... Comments.... Well, doubtless none of you are familiar with #2 but it's a rocker and a half. Rod Stewart did a remake of #6 with one of the brothers, but this is the original... Ronny & the Daytonas was really just one guy, but he thought it sounded cooler if he called himself a group... The Fats Domino song was used in a Gremlins picture, the second one I think... #3 is of course from the movie "Buck Privates" starring Abbott & Costello. P.S. Since you won't know the Stereophonics number probably, here's a link to a live version of it. Enjoy, kids.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_2_meh-DLo Edited by Laughing Gravy, Jul 1 2009, 06:13 AM.

It's late and I'm off to bed, but what th' heck... 1. Dancing with Myself (Nouvelle Vague) 2. Mama Told Me (Not to Come) (Tom Jones & Stereophonics) 3. Late in the Evening (Paul Simon) 4. Expressway to Your Heart (Soul Survivors) 5. Over and Over (Dave Clark Five) 6. Daddy Cool (The Rays) 7. Big Bird (Eddie Floyd) All I have to say to this is, "DAMN, I listen to EXCELLENT damn music." And so I do. G'night, folks. Drive safely. |

1. Come On, Let's Go (Ritchie Valens) 2. I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) (The Proclaimers) 3. Listen to Me (Buddy Holly) 4. Lookin' Out My Back Door (Creedence Clearwater Revival) 5.

Actually, he may well have #s 1 and 3, knowing him. And actually, six of the seven songs on this list I have karaoked at some point. Sorry, no Pink. Yet. |
