Day 8 - Really

The Delfonics - He Don't Really Love You

Typically dramatic Thom Bell production, behind a pleading William Hart vocal.

Day 10 - Song

Frank Sinatra - Without A Song

"I'll-a never know what makes that rain to fall
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song"

Aristolian in it's profoundity.

Day 9 - One

Sister Sledge - One More Time

The Chic produced album "We Are Family", had so many hits on it that this fine sinuous groove, got a bit lost.

Day 9 - Spoilt For Choice

Luther Vandross - Since I Lost My Baby

"Good things are bad
And what's happy is sad"

Smokey nailing that feeling of deep, inconsolable despair. Fine as The Temptations version is, this is the one.

Day 8 - It's Very Nice To Go Travelling

Bobby Short - I Happen To Like New York

Ah, the wit of Cole Porter, God how we need him now. It's hard to imagine him prospering in Hackensack though.

Day 8 - No

Gladys Knight - No One Could Love You More

Right back at'cha Gladys. That throaty imperious voice, Jamerson's joyous bassline & the Pips harmonising impeccably. A good track to play if there's domestic "agita" in the air.

Day 7 - Feel

Ann Peebles - I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home

I doubt she was more than 99lbs. dripping wet, but I always believed her.

Day 6 - It's All Relative

The Winstons - Colour Him Father

A hugely emotional song for many people who lived It's story.

Day 5 - A Cherished Album

Ennio Morricone - Matto, Caldo, Soldi, Morto.... Girotondo.

A typical Friday night in the Scottish 'burbs.

Day5 -Touch

Gene Pitney-Just One Smile

"I don`t ask for much
A look, a smile, a touch"

An early song from Randy N. Those lines are perfect for the over-wrought, self-pitying style of Gene. I use them myself, if I don't get my own way😊

Day 4 - A Hidden Gem

Al Green - Beware

The last track on "Livin' For You", has Al and the Hodges brothers, stretching out for 8 mins. Al dissolving in laughter at the end, adds to the jam session, substances have been taken, vibe.

Day 3 - Remix

Public Enemy - Shut 'Em Down(Pete Rock Remix)

Not much thought required with this one. That looping horn riff, makes Chuck's vocal pop even more & turns this into a monster.

"I like the original but wait a minute !"

Day 1 - 1 Hit

Mercy - Love Can Make You Happy

Kept off the Billboard no.1 in '69 by a modest beat combo, The Beatles. I still occasionally dress like in the video - for old times sake - though strictly behind closed doors.

May 31 - Wildcard

Noel Coward - Why Do The Wrong People Travel

"Travel they say improves the mind,
An irritating platitude, which frankly, entrenous,
Is very far from true"

Possibly prompted by a recent holiday🤭

Thanks Laura.
