	♥ 3:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:15 They go back to 1962
	♥ 3:20pm WR: A little earlier on the Sheena stream people were discussing the background of a track, and the DJ wrote: "I always admired people like Larry Grogan who can go on about all the details behind a song or band."
	3:20pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Make Me Yours" by "Bettye Swan" Oh, big hit! I like the Money label design too.
	3:20pm bradford: ↳ Song: "Make Me Yours" by "Bettye Swan" Love this one...
	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm dutchtheo: Hey Larry and soul mates!
	♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:20 Which DJ? Thank them for the kind words.
	♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:20 One of the few records over the next two weeks that was actually a big hit.
	♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dutchtheo @3:21 Hey Theo!
	3:22pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:21 I agree. You know so much for starting in on music awhile after me.
	3:24pm Dean: What was the place of the Downey Records label? Its associated record store, Wenzel's Music Town, was a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
	♥ 3:25pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:21 They go by Arvo Zylo, did a fill-in today for Bill Zebub on the Sheena stream.
	3:27pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Harlem Shuffle" by "Bob and Earl" It's the song from the intro.
	3:27pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Harlem Shuffle" by "Bob and Earl" As a midwest kid, Flippers is untouchable for this song.
	♥ 3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:25 Oh, I know Arlo!
	🥁 ♥ 3:28pm listener 126464: Checking in from a few miles north, hi Larry. Hello all, listening!
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:24 Wasn't Downey mostly surf stuff?
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:27 I dig that Flippers 45!
	♥ 3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ listener 126464 @3:28 Howdy listener 126464!
	♥ 3:30pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:29 theseconddisc.com...
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Oo Wee Baby, I Love You" by "Fred Hughes" I have an early 70s 45 of this by Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers
	♥ 3:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WR @3:25 aw, 'wish i'd caught that
	3:34pm Dean: Was it? I don't know, actually. That was kinda the point of my question. They didn't do soul?
	♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:34 Most of the stuff I recognize on the label is surf instros, but it's possible some of the other stuff is soul: www.discogs.com...
	3:37pm Dean: I just randomly stumbled on https://www.discogs.com/master/1322381-Margaret-Williams-My-Love-Baby-Please-Help-Me
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "It's Gonna Rain Outside" by "BJ and the Profits" written and produced by Sonny Bono, who's also singing backup
	♥ 3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:37 Ooh, a Barry White production! I'll have to look for that!
	♥ 3:38pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:37 heh, it could do without his vocals in there!
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:38 Yeah, not much of a singer
	♥ 3:41pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Every Little But Hurts" by "Brenda Holloway" is this the original version? (i've forgotten who else did this)
	♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:41 Yes, covered by Spencer Davis Group among others
	3:42pm Dean: Yikes, upwards of fifty bucks for that 45!
	3:43pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 So did the lead singer of Skyhooks.
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:42 Chump change amongst soul collectors, though I'd like to hear it to see if it's worth the dough, or just scarce
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:43 The who now?
	♥ 3:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 Thanks. i know that one, and also another but can't look into it on this computer
	3:44pm Dean: Discogs has the embedded YouTube of at least one side.
	3:44pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:43 The late Shirley Strachan (male singer) of the Australian band Skyhooks. He released a cover of Every Little Bit Hurts.
	3:45pm Erica: I found it online once.
	♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: OK Earl Cosby (who we just heard) is also Earl Nelson from Bob & Earl, and is ALSO Jackie Lee (who we will hear later on)
	♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:44 I am unfamiliar with them. I'll look them up later.
	♥ 3:48pm WR: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:34 Still on, covering the Sheena stream until 5pm.
	3:49pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:45 Skyhooks had such hits as Living in the 70s and All My Friends Are Getting Married.
	♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "I Can't Get Over Losing Your Love" by "Incredibles" One of the best ever, by anyone.
	♥ 3:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WR @3:48 isn't Roy Santiago on? (during this, hands down the worst hour of the week on wfmu. . . 4 streams, 4 good shows!)
	♥ 3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Everybody's Going Mod" by "Johnny Wyatt" This is a Barry White production
	♥ 3:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "It's Got To Be Mellow" by "Leon Haywood" hey isn't that the same intro as "Love makes a woman"?
	♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:55 If it is, the folks in Chicago stole it!
	♥ 3:57pm coelacanth∅: ...no, not Love makes a woman; but, -something!
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Love Is Like an Itching In My Heart" by "Sandy Ne... This is an album track that was later bootlegged for the Northern Soul scene in the UK
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:02 As a 45...
	♥ 4:05pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry 'n groovers. Ah, Northern soul what a strange beast.
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:05 Hey Brian! You'll be hearing a lot of it this week and next
	♥ 4:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Tainted Love" by "Gloria Jones" Speaking of...
	♥ 4:08pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:06 It is such a lasting phenomenon. Soft Cell did a number on this one.
	4:09pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:07 This song was featured in a WatchMojo video of cover songs being bigger than the original
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:08 Soft Cell also covered Judy Street's 'What', another big Northern Record.
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:09 Most people have no idea it's a cover
	♥ 4:11pm Arvo Zylo: Hi Larry! I can't listen now, but listen to your archives often without commenting. Keep the faith! ✊ Great set though! Love that Brenda Holloway track!
	4:11pm Erica: And yes Soft Cell's version is iconic. Sometimes I hear the long version with Where Did Our Love Go.
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Arvo Zylo @4:11 Hey Arvo! Thanks for the kind words over at Sheena's!
	4:12pm Erica: Technically Soft Cell's version is a medley cover because it's two cover songs in one track.
	♥ 4:13pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Erica @4:11 They covered Where Did Our Love Go too!
	♥ 4:13pm Brian in UK: So many great covers travelled across the Atlantic. Go Now! being one. It was so difficult to hear what you were hearing then. Oh yes & Percy Sledge. It hit me like a brick first time on the radio.
	4:18pm Erica: ↳ Arvo Zylo @4:13 I just said that.
	♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: If you have headphones on, dig the panning on this 45!
	♥ 4:23pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Erica @4:18 Yes, it wasn't visible to me at the time. Also worth noting that "What" was the B-side on "Tainted Love", and so because they didn't write either sides of the single, they missed out on millions of dollars in royalties, hence them reissuing the single with a different B-side that they actually wrote.
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Arvo Zylo @4:23 I didn't realize that What was the flip. That was a fatal error!
	♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "This Thing Called Love" by "Danny Wagner" Though the production on this album is credited to Bob Keene, Barry White (who co-wrote this song) is all over it.
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Under the Influence of Love" by "Felice Taylor" This one written and produced by Barry White, later done by Love Unlimited
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Shindig City" by "Dorothy Berry" Written and produced by David Gates (?!?) later of Bread.
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "Shindig City" by "Dorothy Berry" Floor filler!
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ listener 126464 @4:31 Absolutely!
	♥ 4:40pm Brian in UK: Nice work Larry. Look forward to next week.
	♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:40 Thanks Brian!
	4:44pm love2laf: ↳ Brian in UK @4:40 Agreed, very nice work indeed, thank you DJ Larry. Cheers everyone, we're in the home stretch of part one now.

	3:11pm love2laf: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:11 Phew, thought maybe the cat was up to some mischief!
	3:12pm still b/p: Is it a call in and win situation when we hear the surprise scratch, is it is it?!
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @3:11 This cat forgot to move the fader!

	♥ 3:15pm Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:09 Andrew, a good afternoon to you!
	♥ 3:15pm WR: ↳ Song: "Justine" by "Righteous Brothers" Don't remember hearing Righteous Bros doing Little Richard style. Fun.
	3:17pm WLSClark: ↳ WR @3:15 Before their bigger hits.
	♥ 3:17pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WLSClark @3:14 0h my goodness!
	♥ 3:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:15 They go back to 1962
	♥ 3:20pm WR: A little earlier on the Sheena stream people were discussing the background of a track, and the DJ wrote: "I always admired people like Larry Grogan who can go on about all the details behind a song or band."
	3:20pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Make Me Yours" by "Bettye Swan" Oh, big hit! I like the Money label design too.
	3:20pm bradford: ↳ Song: "Make Me Yours" by "Bettye Swan" Love this one...
	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm dutchtheo: Hey Larry and soul mates!
	♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:20 Which DJ? Thank them for the kind words.
	♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:20 One of the few records over the next two weeks that was actually a big hit.
	♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dutchtheo @3:21 Hey Theo!
	3:22pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:21 I agree. You know so much for starting in on music awhile after me.
	3:24pm Dean: What was the place of the Downey Records label? Its associated record store, Wenzel's Music Town, was a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
	♥ 3:25pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:21 They go by Arvo Zylo, did a fill-in today for Bill Zebub on the Sheena stream.
	3:27pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Harlem Shuffle" by "Bob and Earl" It's the song from the intro.
	3:27pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Harlem Shuffle" by "Bob and Earl" As a midwest kid, Flippers is untouchable for this song.
	♥ 3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:25 Oh, I know Arlo!
	🥁 ♥ 3:28pm listener 126464: Checking in from a few miles north, hi Larry. Hello all, listening!
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:24 Wasn't Downey mostly surf stuff?
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:27 I dig that Flippers 45!
	♥ 3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ listener 126464 @3:28 Howdy listener 126464!
	♥ 3:30pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:29 theseconddisc.com...
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Oo Wee Baby, I Love You" by "Fred Hughes" I have an early 70s 45 of this by Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers
	♥ 3:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WR @3:25 aw, 'wish i'd caught that
	3:34pm Dean: Was it? I don't know, actually. That was kinda the point of my question. They didn't do soul?
	♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:34 Most of the stuff I recognize on the label is surf instros, but it's possible some of the other stuff is soul: www.discogs.com...
	3:37pm Dean: I just randomly stumbled on https://www.discogs.com/master/1322381-Margaret-Williams-My-Love-Baby-Please-Help-Me
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "It's Gonna Rain Outside" by "BJ and the Profits" written and produced by Sonny Bono, who's also singing backup
	♥ 3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:37 Ooh, a Barry White production! I'll have to look for that!
	♥ 3:38pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:37 heh, it could do without his vocals in there!
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:38 Yeah, not much of a singer
	♥ 3:41pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Every Little But Hurts" by "Brenda Holloway" is this the original version? (i've forgotten who else did this)
	♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:41 Yes, covered by Spencer Davis Group among others
	3:42pm Dean: Yikes, upwards of fifty bucks for that 45!
	3:43pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 So did the lead singer of Skyhooks.
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:42 Chump change amongst soul collectors, though I'd like to hear it to see if it's worth the dough, or just scarce
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:43 The who now?
	♥ 3:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 Thanks. i know that one, and also another but can't look into it on this computer
	3:44pm Dean: Discogs has the embedded YouTube of at least one side.
	3:44pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:43 The late Shirley Strachan (male singer) of the Australian band Skyhooks. He released a cover of Every Little Bit Hurts.
	3:45pm Erica: I found it online once.
	♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: OK Earl Cosby (who we just heard) is also Earl Nelson from Bob & Earl, and is ALSO Jackie Lee (who we will hear later on)
	♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:44 I am unfamiliar with them. I'll look them up later.
	♥ 3:48pm WR: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:34 Still on, covering the Sheena stream until 5pm.
	3:49pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:45 Skyhooks had such hits as Living in the 70s and All My Friends Are Getting Married.
	♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "I Can't Get Over Losing Your Love" by "Incredibles" One of the best ever, by anyone.
	♥ 3:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WR @3:48 isn't Roy Santiago on? (during this, hands down the worst hour of the week on wfmu. . . 4 streams, 4 good shows!)
	♥ 3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Everybody's Going Mod" by "Johnny Wyatt" This is a Barry White production
	♥ 3:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "It's Got To Be Mellow" by "Leon Haywood" hey isn't that the same intro as "Love makes a woman"?
	♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:55 If it is, the folks in Chicago stole it!
	♥ 3:57pm coelacanth∅: ...no, not Love makes a woman; but, -something!
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Love Is Like an Itching In My Heart" by "Sandy Ne... This is an album track that was later bootlegged for the Northern Soul scene in the UK
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:02 As a 45...
	♥ 4:05pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry 'n groovers. Ah, Northern soul what a strange beast.
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:05 Hey Brian! You'll be hearing a lot of it this week and next
	♥ 4:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Tainted Love" by "Gloria Jones" Speaking of...
	♥ 4:08pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:06 It is such a lasting phenomenon. Soft Cell did a number on this one.
	4:09pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:07 This song was featured in a WatchMojo video of cover songs being bigger than the original
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:08 Soft Cell also covered Judy Street's 'What', another big Northern Record.
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:09 Most people have no idea it's a cover
	♥ 4:11pm Arvo Zylo: Hi Larry! I can't listen now, but listen to your archives often without commenting. Keep the faith! ✊ Great set though! Love that Brenda Holloway track!
	4:11pm Erica: And yes Soft Cell's version is iconic. Sometimes I hear the long version with Where Did Our Love Go.
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Arvo Zylo @4:11 Hey Arvo! Thanks for the kind words over at Sheena's!
	4:12pm Erica: Technically Soft Cell's version is a medley cover because it's two cover songs in one track.
	♥ 4:13pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Erica @4:11 They covered Where Did Our Love Go too!
	♥ 4:13pm Brian in UK: So many great covers travelled across the Atlantic. Go Now! being one. It was so difficult to hear what you were hearing then. Oh yes & Percy Sledge. It hit me like a brick first time on the radio.
	4:18pm Erica: ↳ Arvo Zylo @4:13 I just said that.
	♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: If you have headphones on, dig the panning on this 45!
	♥ 4:23pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Erica @4:18 Yes, it wasn't visible to me at the time. Also worth noting that "What" was the B-side on "Tainted Love", and so because they didn't write either sides of the single, they missed out on millions of dollars in royalties, hence them reissuing the single with a different B-side that they actually wrote.
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Arvo Zylo @4:23 I didn't realize that What was the flip. That was a fatal error!
	♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "This Thing Called Love" by "Danny Wagner" Though the production on this album is credited to Bob Keene, Barry White (who co-wrote this song) is all over it.
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Under the Influence of Love" by "Felice Taylor" This one written and produced by Barry White, later done by Love Unlimited
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Shindig City" by "Dorothy Berry" Written and produced by David Gates (?!?) later of Bread.
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "Shindig City" by "Dorothy Berry" Floor filler!
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ listener 126464 @4:31 Absolutely!
