Prince’s 1999 from 1982 is the Random Lp. Which track is your favorite?
The picture reveals my Random LP 45 draw. The Motels “Shame.”
However, we are playing the b-side “Save the Last Dance for Love.”
And the big question. Original or Cover?
Of course Ron kicks off the show with his two doo-wop hits. We are pitting birthday boy Ben E. King’s original “There Goes My Baby” from 1959 against Otis Redding’s cover from the mid- 60’s.
*Our Album Turning 50 did so fifty years ago on this day. September 28th, 1976, Stevie Wonder released Songs in the Key of Life. It's a double LP plus a 4-song bonus EP.
Number ones on this day:
1961: Bobby Vee was keeping us sweet with "Take Good Care of My Baby.”
1971: Rod Stewart rasped his way to the top with "Maggie May."
1981: Diana Ross & Lionel Richie melted hearts with "Endless Love.”
Plus our birthday salutes to legends born Sept 28:
Ben E. King - The Drifters lead voice.
Koko Taylor, Queen of the Blues — Chicago clubs shaking with "Wang Dang Doodle".
2-4 PM Eastern.
