I don't remember EVER hearing Gino Vanelli on some album-rock station. Adult contemporary, yes. Top 40, sure. Black stations showed him some love as well. However, Gino was far too MOR for the AOR.

I think they just changed the label when it was time. Just like Capitol had the yellow-orange swirl on their 45s for most of the sixties, but switched to the red-orange target design at the end of the decade. As for People, they had three lab…

...kinda ironic, too, considering that WVON in Chicago supposedly broke more Motown hits than anyone else. That was Berry Gordy's testing ground. So is it safe to say the soundtrack isnt all that odd/off considering Motown's proximity and payo…

Not to pick an argument Pickwick, but we are about the same age and just have different regional experiences I guess. In NYC, the "rock" stations like WPLJ or WNEW weren't going near any new-wavey stuff. Even when the Clash opened for the Who, they …

Nah, I'm more of a fan of Jan Smithers and her tight sweaters. It was a running gag about how Bailey would always ask Johnny out on a date and he'd blow her off. They tried to mask her sex appeal, but it didn't work; she had the unde…

I just checked online, and the only reference I saw to his death was on his Wikipedia page. Covay isn't THAT obscure; you'd think the news outlets would have been all over this by now. Still waiting to see if this is a hoax, since "they" tried to ki…

Passed away two days ago? You'd think the news would have spread quicker than this.

Last month, Frank said: Actually I try and avoid having to listen to any sort of background music at any time. First thing I do when entering a cab is to ask the driver to turn off the radio. I can't even count the restaurants that I stopped visi…

Just finished the Cult episode that reminded me of Rerun([em]What's Happening[/em]) joining his local cult. Its the same era. Just saw that one, too. What got me is that they don't attempt to hide the fact that Sly was a nickel-and-dime dop…

There's a hilarious dream sequence where James imagines life at Sly Hazeltine's house as one big P-Funk concert.... Now that was funny! Even funnier - the screen didn't get hazy or anything to indicate a dream sequence...it went str…

I was all about Jaclyn Smith as a kid, but as I age, (Kate) Jackson has become the Here My Dear of Charlie's Angels. That raspy voice w/ a slight twang is the shit. And she was just as hot earlier in the decade on The Rookies, with th…

Im curious if its exploited in the storylines or is it just friends w/out the "hey we got a Black dude" steez. The racial dynamic is mentioned from time to time, but it's never a punchline. At no time do they make Sly another "J.J." (fro…

And then in the opening credits I saw the ubiquitous Kim Richards who was in damn near everything back then. She turned up on Hello, Larry maybe a year later. What time did this show air cause I recall it coming on after the 7pm the pr…

I have no problem with Bartz' voice. He's got just the kind of common-man voice that can pull off a song like "Dozens (The Sounding Song)" or "Standing On The Corner." However, I don't dig it as much when he's reciting poetry ("Parted").

HOME - records or CDs OUT AND ABOUT - iPod, always on shuffle.

I'll give Boogie an expiration date but Funk goes on for 20+ years...way too long to create some cut off point. Funk goes on for a long time, but it did change. Kool & the Gang 1970 was a totally different band from Kool & the Gan…

So you can't just bring a pair of headphones into the office and listen to whatever the hell you want to?

With all due respect to Big Stacks, if I had to prove to a soul traditionalist that there were good records after 1975, I wouldn't have chosen most of those albums on his list. I could understand it if he listed, say, J. Blackfoot or some other act …
