I am imagining Barry singing to the Yip Yips.
  Sun. 10/16/11 12:14am Joe McG:

  Sun. 10/16/11 1:23am Chef (Isaac Hayes):

Tonight IS the night for love...Love Gravy...
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:24am Matt from Springfield:

And, I've heard this Isaac song once before, couldn't find a copy, so thanks for saying the album title.
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:26am Joe McG:

@Matt: It's a good one, includes his very cool remake of Roy Hamilton's "Don't Let Go" on it. Which I may play in a future week.
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:26am Matt from Springfield:

From Nat Roe's Adult Contemporary Redux, I've learned of Maxine Nightingale's other hit, 1979's "Lead Me On"--that's a good one, between Minnie Ripperton and Kate Bush in a way; do you have that one on you? Or in the library?
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:26am cheri:

well joe--got to go again before i faint,, see you soon!!
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:30am Joe McG:

Oh, that's a good one, Matt. I doubt we have it, but I'll take a look...
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:33am Matt from Springfield:

Thanks! It'd be great if you could find it...
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:36am Matt from Springfield:

Purple Rain's "The Beautiful Ones"--jaw-droppingly amazing!
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:36am T-Zero:

Evening, Joe McG. Really enjoying tonight's program. Hearing a lot of songs I haven't heard in a while. As a friend of mine would say: "Classic S&F music.)
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:38am Joe McG:

Thanks, T-Zero--glad you're diggin' it!
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:40am Matt from Springfield:

This Usher made me think of Dave Chappelle--my freshman year of college Dave was a rising star (2003) and actually came to do a comedy show, and we were all screaming for him to do his R. Kelly parody, "Piss On You" song! He wouldn't, he said "I don't have the band with me or anything!" but he ended up singing a few lines, which made all of us extremely happy!
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:40am Matt from Springfield:

Usher's saying "freak" a lot--is this the (radio edit) version? : )
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:46am Joe McG:

@Matt: I'll get to the R. Kelly pretty soon! As far as I know, there isn't an explicit version of "Nice and Slow." Usher just says "freak" a lot.
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:50am Matt from Springfield:

Thanks again Joe---this is a more "seductive" version of The Manhattans than I've heard from their other songs.
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:51am Joe McG:

@Matt: Looked for Maxine--alas, no dice. Sorry, my friend!
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:51am kiemzi:

omg slow jamz
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:53am Joe McG:

Hey, kiemzi! Nuthin' but.
  Sun. 10/16/11 1:56am Matt from Springfield:

Ah, 's cool bro! At least I KNOW about that song!
Boyz II Men! I heard about them when I was younger, never was old enough when they were at the top of their game!
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:02am cheri:

all i could say joe,,this is one super freaky show!!
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:04am Joe McG:

Super freakin'. I thought about Rick James, but I'm not crazy about his ballads!
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:05am Matt from Springfield:

DID Rick do any ballads?!
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:06am Joe McG:

@Matt: There's one he did with Teena Marie that was pretty popular called "Fire and Desire." But I don't like how he sings it.
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:10am slugluv1313:

ooooooooo not even "Ebony Eyes"??? with Mr. Smokey Robinson, one of my *personal* all-time faves -- but i guess that is one of the things i have always loved about Mr. Rick James -- usually he is going on all about "sexy sext sexy sexy sexy" etc. . . . and THEN he totally blows your mind (and heart??!!) with a song all aching and gorgeous and "romantic" like "Ebony Eyes" . . . *sigh*
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:11am Mike Sin:

Laid back... The loneliest player getting no love on these past few tracks was the drummer.
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:12am Matt from Springfield:

Hey Mike S.!
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:13am Joe McG:

@slugluv: I always thought it was a bit odd that Rick and Smokey were singing that together, I don't know why! @Mike: Drummers just keepin' it down LOW.
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:16am slugluv1313:

YES!!!!!!!!! when "Ebony Eyes" first came out, i was like -- wha . . . ??? Smokey Robinson and Super Freak Rick James??? but it totally worked (well, at least for me) -- even the totally over-the-top, full-length video . . .
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:17am Joe McG:

@slugluv: Ooh, I'll have to put a link to that on the playlist later!
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:20am Matt from Springfield:

SYLVIA!!! WOW!
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:22am slugluv1313:

oooooo was just thinking of this Major Harris song -- cool! (have the 45 somewhere) -- thinking of another similar song, from same approximate time period -- maybe "Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time" -- ???

oh! if i can find it -- will put a link for "Ebony Eyes' video for ya
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:23am slugluv1313:

YES!!!!!! SYLVIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i AM in Heaven!!!!! :)
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:24am slugluv1313:

Chacachas' "JUngle Fever" . . . Dells' "Stay in My Corner" . . . (or are those not sloooooooooow enuff?)
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:27am Mike Sin:

Good morning, Matt from Springfield!... And good morning to all the lovely t-shirt and panty wearing... and pledging... ladies out there. ("Jeez, that dude is creepy").
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:29am Joe McG:

@slugluv: Good suggestions, but I put "Jungle Fever" on my premium this year, so it feels like self-promotion! The Dells tune is fantastic, but not quite sensual enough, if you get my drift.
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:35am slugluv1313:

video for "Ebony Eyes":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww-qjnpA8kc
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:37am slugluv1313:

re: the Dells song, YES, i totally understand!!!! not quite . . . slooooooowwwwww jaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmy enuff . . . !
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:41am Joe McG:

Thanks for the YouTube video link, slugluv1313!
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:46am slugluv1313:

THANK YOU for all these amazing tunes!!!!!!!
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:47am Joe McG:

Having the desired effect, I hope!
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:51am BULLDOZ'r:

This playlist is a keeper
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:52am Mike Sin:

"always and forever" -- it's the last slow dance at the wedding!
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:52am slugluv1313:

YES!!!! guessing with other listeners too, judging by "lack" of comments, they are all *preoccupied*

ow WOW!!!!! the Heatwave song -- TOTALLY "cheesey" but gotta love it!!!
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:54am Joe McG:

@slugluv: Yes, I'm not too concerned about the comments list tonight. I hope people are "busy" in one way or another. I know this HW song is the ultimate cheese, but I love it, and I had to finish up with that high note climax!
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:54am slugluv1313:

@ Mike Sin -- EXACTLY!!!!!

(have a kinda funny/sweet/strangely "romantic" story about this song -- cannot really explain here)
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:56am Mike Sin:

Man, I didn't realize gentleman Joe mcG could be such a filthy mutha-fo!
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:58am Terre T:

Whew...i felt the earth move under my feet with that set...
  Sun. 10/16/11 2:59am Joe McG:

Goodnight, all, and thanks for listening! See you all next week!
  Sun. 10/16/11 3:00am slugluv1313:

@ Terre T. -- DITTO!!!!!!

and ending with "Love's Theme" -- PERFECT!!!!!!!
