Getting a minor chest infection along with the tickly throat that comes with it is not the most helpful thing if you are hosting a radio programme, so this week’s cough arriving was most unwelcome – and it still hasn’t totally gone away now, so at least anyone meeting me in the next 24 hours will think Saturday’s repeat play is live ! Good excuse though for a couple of particularly “tasty twelves” and a few other generally long songs in between…
This Week’s Tracks:
Junior – Mama Used To Say
Gilberto Gil – Toda Menina Baina
Loletta Holloway – Love Sensation
Brothers Johnson – Stomp (Full Extended Version)
Archie Bell & The Drells – Strategy
Al Johnson & Jean Carn – I’m Back For More
Toni Braxton – Breathe Again
Jeannie Reynolds – Fruit Song
O’Jays – Love Train
Aurra – Like I Like It
Barry White – Don’t Make Me Wait Too Long
Trussel – Love Injection
Linda Williams – Elevate Our Minds
