This was the soundtrack growing up for me when I was real young, summer nights out on the patio with Sinatra 8-tracks pumping through the open windows. That and my mom's disco in the car.
Jam On It-Newcleus this was the first song I ever taped off the radio, in 1983 holding a cassette recorder up to a transistor radio. I sat there listening to a top-5 countdown or something like that, PRAYING they would play Jam-o-nay.
These are all tracks I??d listen to constantly when I really started getting into music, and they are absolutely unfadeable to me:
Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire Otis Redding - Dock of the Bay Sam & Dave - Soothe Me Theme from Peter Gunn (Blues Brothers version)
Actually I don??t think I??ll ever tire of the Blues Brothers soundtrack (in the film itself, not so much the record). I knew the entire movie by heart as a 12-year old, and pretty much still do.
I could make a list like Big Stacks real easy, but here are 10 of mine that may not have been mentioned...
Laughing--REM Epistrophy--Thelonious Monk Outkast--Southernplayalistic Van Morrison--Sweet Thing Marvin Gaye--Heard it Through the Grapevine Eric Dolphy--Hat and Beard John Coltrane--Alabama Elis Regina--Aquas de Marco Don't Worry Baby--Beach Boys I Get a Kick (Out of You)--Dinah Washington
Shhh-Peaceful - Miles Davis Viva Tirado - Fania Allstars Mas Que Nada - Jorge Ben Golden Slumbers - The Beatles 25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago Ping Pong - Art Blakey The Border - Gregory Isaacs Que Pena - Gal Costa The Eleven - Grateful Dead Midnight Rambler - Rolling Stones
One Way- Cutie Pie Rush- Tom Sawyer Stevie Wonder- Ribbon In The Sky RAMP- Daylight Lakeside- Fantastic Voyage Chubb Rock- Treat'Em Right KMD- Peachfuzz Dazz Band- On The One For Fun Steely Dan- Peg

Dayton did the song in 1981. Actually, I'm not up on the One Way version.
Odd, One Way's version was a massive hit in '82 or so.

You're not up on the One Way version???
Well, my 2 year old daughter is now one up on you, for that is far and away her favorite song...which she plays on her Playskool turntable at least twice a day, going absolutley dance crazy each and every time.
I wonder if when she's 30-something, she'll remember how much she loved Cutie Pie back in 2007.
That's a great one I haven't heard in a long time. I love the hypnotic-spiritual vibe it has. Ever notice how the drums never fall into a groove? Very unique.

You mean it was originally done by Dayton?
When I was younger, I knew Cutie Pie as done by One Way...so
One Way is actually a cover? Huh, I've never heard Cutie Pie by Dayton- a late pass for me.
Peace,
Big Stacks from Kakalak
Long, Long, Long is a really good one too. I play that on repeat often.
Odd, One Way's version was a massive hit in '82 or so.

thread that I am personally VERY
tired of ...
Here is the Liberty Records catalogue info for the Dayton joint: LT-1093 - Cutie Pie - Dayton [1981].
