Kiki Dee - I (1967)

Born Pauline Matthews, Kiki Dee had a couple hits in the 70s - Don't Go Breaking My Heart (with Elton John), and I've Got the Music in Me. This excellent tune, from earlier in her career, sounds a lot like something Dusty Springfield might have recorded.

I suppose we could have gone with a Star Wars theme of some sort for tonight’s episode, but too much of that available elsewhere and besides, we never were much for SW anyway. You know who is though, my wife and she’s also a huge Royal Family aficionado, and has big plans this weekend around the Coronation of King Charles. So instead we are going to use that event as inspiration for tonight’s mix of great 60′s black soul, ska, blues and reggae from the UK. It made sense to us...

Side A Howling at the Moon-Hank Williams Coronation Street-Top Grant London Here We Come-Rico’s Combo New Direction-Millie Watch the Stars-Dorris Henderson & John Renbourn Sunshine-Shirley Bassey Rora Rora Majo Omo Pupa-Flash Domincii & Supersonics Everything is Go-Cab Kaye I Ain’t Mad at You-Howie Casey and the Seniors

Side B All Night-Screaming Jay Hawkins Keep Your Hands Out of My Pocket-Otis Spann Get Your Head Happy-Champion Jack Dupree Bartender-Laurel Aitken and Bluebeats Rock Me Daddy-Mabel Hillary Green Onions-Shake Keane Spinning Wheel-Maxine Nightingale You’re My Girl-Eldridge Devlin Please Think of Me-Rubert and the Red Devils Coronation Street-Geoff Love Orchestra

“I loved being a part of bringing joy and solace to people when I sang,” said  Oleta Adams,  platinum-selling recording artist and four-time Grammy nominee. “It made me feel that I had something significant to contribute to the world, and that became the main reason for making it my career.”In 1985, while performing at the Peppercorn Duck Club in the Hyatt Hotel in Kansas City, Oleta Adams's powerful vocals caught the attention of Ian Stanley, the keyboardist for Tears for Fears. The band asked her to record and tour with them – launching her global career. “Roy Orzibal, Tears For Fears cofounder, had written a song entitled, "Woman In Chains" and he asked me to bring that same emotion to his song," she said. 

The work Oleta Adams did on their record led to her being signed to the band's same recording company, Polygram-Fontana.“"It gave me integrity and a real boost to my own career," she added.

This jumpstart to her career led to her performing with legends like Phil Collins, Michael Bolton, and Luther Vandross.

I remember when she opened for Luther Vandross. She was down-to-earth, very approachable and kind. Sitting behind a grand piano, she memorized audiences with warm, rich vocals. Her debut album, "Circle of Love," was like nothing else at the time, and it took the musical world by storm.  Oleta Adams' deep, clear voice in her breathy rendition of Brenda Russell's "Get Here" is a torchy masterpiece. It became one of the 90's great love ballads.  The song became an unofficial anthem of the 1991 Gulf War.

Celebrating 45 years in the music industry and having released nine albums, including secular, gospel, and Christmas, Oleta’s musical odyssey continues to garner her legions of fans worldwide.Variety wrote, “Oleta Adams is a singer of immense talent… she infuses the songs with a drama and sensitivity that leaves you limp, and hungering for more.”

I'm sorry but the irony of Nico calling Max unprofessional is sending me so bad like sir there's an entire garage full of people, who were literally in the trenches trying to survive the Brocedes fallout while just doing their jobs, who might have a few things to say about your (& Lewis') level of professionalism at that time 😭✋️

February 9th Playlist

Picked up the fab compilation pictured above on a recommendation from our friends at Uncut Magazine, and with it being Black History Month, it made perfect sense to feature tracks from it on tonight’s episode. A couple, four, tracks come from one of the annual music issues that the Oxford American magazine curates, often featuring artists from a particular state, in this case Alabama. A pretty strong episode if we’re tooting our own horn, but you of course are the judge...

Side A Howling at the Moon-Hank Williams Cold, Cold Heart-Dinah Washington Come on Home-Jackie Edwards Get a Good Thing Going-Soul Brothers Waterfall-Jimmy Cliff Nothing But a Heartache-Flirtations Twine Time-Alvin Cash & the Crawlers Get on the Right Track-Mary Gresham Serving a Sentence of Life-Carl Douglas But it’s Alright-J.J. Jackson

Side B Stoned Out of It-John Fitch Pretty Soon-Black Haze Express Man Without a Face-the Chants Moving Away-Kenny Lynch Only a Fool-Clyde McPhatter Swing a Ling Pt. 1-Ernest Ranglin & G.B. Picture Me Gone-Madeline Bell That Man-The Reaction I’m Living Good-McFarthing Kissoon I Don’t Want-Errol Dixon The World Don’t Owe You Nothing-Sam Dees
