You played a lot of songs that I had not heard in a while. I especially enjoyed the common thread segment. It's rare to hear the "Theme From Cleopatra Jones". Wonderful show.
"Dance Little Sister" - amazing.
The Bangles made my weekend list too :)
How will I know! Loved Whitney before her "crack is whack" days....I can't wait for her to make her big comeback. She has one of the best voices of our time. I still listen to my Bodyguard soundtrack all the time.
Pjazzy: Thanks! I love that guitar work on "The Theme From Cleopatra Jones". In my opinion, Joe Simon is one of the more underrated soul singers of the late 60s/70s.
Thembi: That is a great tune by Terence Trent D'Arby. It was a last minute add because my show was running about 3 to 4 minutes short. It's cool when I improvise and things actually turn out OK.
Mistress of the D: I checked out your weekend playlist. The Bangles' version of the Grass Roots' "Where Were You When I Need You" is outstanding. The also do a pretty good version of the Big Star tune "September Gurls".
Holly: I hear that Whitney is in fine voice on her upcoming album. As much as some of us (me included) love to rip on celebs when they are down, I think we enjoy a comeback story even better... I know I do.
