Dig on platters a-plenty, from The Chantels to Del Shannon, The Small Faces to Jimmy Reed. And so much more. Maybe some Basie and Kenton? Relax. You’ve earned it!

There was a place on Washington St. (Hoboken) called Secret Ingredient that sold bagels, coffee etc.. The kook that ran it sang "I Love You More Today..." constantly. Also, they never had change.

It's as if I'm listening to Sam on one of his cassettes — "for da caaah!"

this Bobby Sherman song now always makes me think of Charlie Lewis' version at the FMU marathon finale circa 2004

On the cover Johnny C is actually boogalooing down Broadway.

Like Cliff Noble's "Love Is All Right" which I hear was the original A-side, til the jocks flipped it over in favor of "The Horse."

This Tavares cut always seemed criminally underrated. Thanx for playing, Dennis.
Avatar 2:41pm
Joe B:

Tavares - great and now rare example of a label actually developing talent. they were with Capitol for years under a couple different names before making it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:42pm
Gaylord Fields:

My favorite Tavares song, somehow even beating out the one that name-drops Baretta, Kojak, and McCloud!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:42pm

you got it Gene! yeah Joe B - I think they're still performing?

I first learned Lane Steinberg's name in 2001. He added period-appropriate instrumentation to the demos on the Buffalo Springfield box set. I excitedly forwarded the links to Bob Brainen, who replied instantly: 'Fakes. Lane Steinberg.' Lesson learned!
