RJ,
Whiter Shade Of Pale is a great song, but as I joked about it I have never met anyone who understands what it is about, lol!
One of the Mysteries of Rock & Roll!
But the sound was ethereal (you used it correctly) and so different from anything else at that time, I can understand the record promoter taking a chance that if any station MIGHT play it, it would be WOR-FM.
Richie Havens and Follow...!
What can I say, that was a game changer for me- just so literate and with tremendous feeling.
That whole album, Mixed Bag, I played the grooves off it, lol!
It is one of the great LP's of all time, listen to it if you can!
And Richie Havens has put out some terrific music in his long career, I'll have another song by him in tonight's post.
That first FM clock radio story is true, too bizarre to make up- I always wondered what my parents thought but I never mentioned it, lol!
I had to look insane!
Thanks for listening and writing as always- you have a good ear,
Mike

Mike,
Nice show brother. I like Whiter Shade Of Pale as well. That song is definitely different. It has such an aura or etheral sound to it (not sure if either of those descriptive words are used correctly, but I promise that I know what I mean).
I would have never guessed that Richie Havens did the song Follow. But then again, I know absolutely nothing about his music. Nice song though, I can see how it could affect someone the way if affected you.
Love the first radio story.
Scottie me lad, I can't imagine how you would even think you offended me.
Not at all!
And I love those one hugely funny one lines you always manage to sneak in your writing, lol!
Offended?
Not a chance!
I know George Benson, Scott, and I recall that hit and I still like him.
Maybe I'll send you a song by him, been thinking about playing it for 9/11.
But the DJ scat singing seemed to originate with the earlier R&B DJ Jocko.
And I am used to being right of everyone else's center, lol!
i NOW RETURN YOU TO REALITY...LOL!
Mike
Thanks for the mind excursion Mike! Now I have to return to reality...
There are no birthdays today
