Just 10 minutes to go, for a fine radio show at WAYOfm.org at 9 PM Eastern Daylight Time (-4:00 UTC)
I've done shows like this before and for some reason, inexplicable to me, this kind of show gets more applause than anything else i spew out onto the air. This one is 100% Motown singles from 1971, but with only a modest twist... the tunes are all on the B-side of the 45 single. Which means these songs are (at most) only the 3rd-best tunes off the album. If you're in the biz of selling LPs, you don't put songs #1 and #2 on the same 45 single! If you do that, then nobody buys your album, only the single. You want to reserve the 2nd-best tune for the A-side of a second single.
But for some reason, stringing only B-sides together is really enjoyable. Here's how the playlist ended up:
01-01 The Supremes - This Is The Story
01-02 Edwin Starr - Cloud Nine
01-03 Hugh Masekela & The Union Of South Africa - Shebeen
01-04 Stoney And Meatloaf - Lady Be Mine
