Discogs search didn't find it, came up with a Japanese band called The Mods that did Jumpin Jack Flash in the late 70s.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:07pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Brian! And whoa...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:08pm
Funky16Corners:

I think there are probably two dozen Mods or more in Discogs. look it up by the label, Revelation VII
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:08pm
David Dichelle:

This is very satisfying!

All those versions McGasko played and these three didn't make that program.

Webhamster Henry:

Mae West is coming up, right? Or is that too Sheena Jungle Room-y?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:10pm
Funky16Corners:

Henry! I have played Mae on the show before, but not today. Her Way Out West LP is cool!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:11pm
WR:

It's three of a kind, so, Next!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:11pm
Funky16Corners:

Yup! Three tunes, then turn the page!

I guess I was thinking of the Phyllis Diller version...

I can't help thinking about Go Go girls when this track is playing

I got my Golden Throats mixed up!

This is called deconstructing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:17pm
Funky16Corners:

Indeed

Brian in UK:

Are they trying to make a monkey of this song?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:19pm
Funky16Corners:

I don't think the Monkees ever got quite that heavy.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:20pm
Brian in UK:

Has there ever been a tribute album of the Who songs?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:20pm
Funky16Corners:

I don't know, but there are a bunch of covers out there

You mean Monkee? Get it?

Larry beat me to it I know.

Little Danny:

Hey Larry, hey peeps.

Doug Schulkind:

Soul-inflected boogaloo. There. I just need to hear myself say it out loud. It sounded good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:27pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Danny! Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:27pm
Funky16Corners:

If your boogaloo is inflected with soul, dance, then see your physician
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:27pm
Little Danny:

Ah, wonderful, "Wade in the Water" is one of those covers I look for.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:28pm
Funky16Corners:

One of my favorite songs. I have considered doing an entire Wade show...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:28pm
Little Danny:

Who's on guitar on this Big Mama side?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:29pm
Funky16Corners:

I use to know. It's a black blues player sounding like Sam Andrew from Big Brother
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:30pm
Funky16Corners:

I just looked it up at Funky16Corners. It's a guy named Bee Houston
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:31pm
Brian in UK:

Is this the band that played on Elvis Costello's first album?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:31pm
Funky16Corners:

One and the same, though minus Huey Lewis
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:31pm
Little Danny:

Ha I just found it too. Thanks Larry. "...and the guitar solo by Bee Houston is killer."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:32pm
Funky16Corners:

Future Doobie Brother John McPhee is playing lead on this
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:32pm
Funky16Corners:

McFee...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:33pm
Little Danny:

"Bee Houston" sounds like an alias that a better-known musician would assume for some extra-contractual moonlighting.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:34pm
Funky16Corners:

Bee be real! www.discogs.com...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:34pm
Brian in UK:

Little Danny, bit like George Harrysong.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:35pm
WR:

I never thought of Wade in the Water as a guitar show case song, but the first two selects did, and now the man, Harvey Mandel.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:35pm
Little Danny:

That is a great pseudonym.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:36pm
Funky16Corners:

Yeah, this 45 is WILD. I don't think the gospel originators would recognize it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:37pm
Funky16Corners:

It's like, let's wade in the water, but let me put in a little LSD first
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:37pm
Little Danny:

@Larry: Not to send you off-playlist, but have you seen the live footage of the Staple Singers doing it in '68? www.youtube.com...

Pops still in full backwoods tremolo blues mode.
Avatar 3:37pm
Erica:

Wade in the Water, psychedelic style, maaan.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:38pm
Funky16Corners:

I'll check it out after the show. The Staples will be making a covered appearance later in the show
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:38pm
Little Danny:

Harvey Mandel sounds a bit like a Richard Evans production.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:39pm
Funky16Corners:

It does. Produced by Abe Voco Kesh and arranged by Nick DeCaro
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:41pm
Funky16Corners:

Harvey grew up near Chicago, so maybe he was listening to the Soulful Strings...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:46pm
Funky16Corners:

The flipside of Cadet, Charles Stepney.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:46pm
Little Danny:

Indeed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:48pm
Funky16Corners:

Kim Fowley is on this record somewhere. Not sure if he's "Larry Green" or not

It keeps dropping and undropping.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:58pm

Sorry folks, not sure what's up

Its seems like my internet connection is OK

Why does it keep doing that now and then Larry?

I wish I knew
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:01pm
Michael 98145:

I loved Cilla Black. Back then.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:02pm
Funky16Corners:

The album that her version of 1-2-3 is from is pretty cool. It has a great cover of the US soul tune The Real Thing
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:18pm
Funky16Corners:

Still coming through OK?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:18pm
Webhamster Henry:

I didn't know about this Nilsson cover!
  4:18pm
Mike Sin:

Mandel’s version of “Wade...” should have been featured during the groovy opening of a late ‘60s spy movie.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:18pm
Funky16Corners:

Get ready for two more!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:18pm
Funky16Corners:

Yes, been stable since Staple Singers
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:19pm
Funky16Corners:

Excellent!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:29pm
Funky16Corners:

This is an album often labeled as kitschy, but it is in fact quite good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:33pm
Webhamster Henry:

From the tubular-bell pop era of the 60s.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:33pm
Funky16Corners:

Which one, the trombones?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:36pm
Michael 98145:

This is such a strange, haunting song
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:37pm
Funky16Corners:

Yes indeed. I don't think I've ever heard a bad version either
Avatar 4:37pm
Erica:

It is haunting. The original version is as well.

This blog entry goes well with your little Wichita Lineman setlet: www.retrospace.org...
  4:45pm
Mark R:

I think this is a GREAT version of "Wichita Lineman"--I have to confess I've never heard of Gloria Loring.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:46pm
Michael 98145:

same here
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:46pm
Funky16Corners:

She was married to Alan Thicke (Robin Thicke is her son). She made a couple of great pop albums in the late 60s and early 70s, then went on to write and sing a bunch of TV themes.
Avatar 4:47pm
Erica:

And now it's an elevator music version.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:48pm
WR:

You are doing excellent choices. LOL, Erica, I like the "elevator" version. The strings interestingly voiced.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:48pm
StringOFperils:

Those Jim Webb chord modulations make it all sound like elevator music at some level. It has a "tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life" vibe.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:49pm
Funky16Corners:

@WR - I may do a whole show dedicated to Tartaglia's work. Much of his own work was pretty forward thinking and he did arrangements for a lot of interesting people
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:51pm
StringOFperils:

This Kool & the Gang is pretty sweet.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:52pm
Funky16Corners:

They always fancied themselves a closet jazz band. Original name was The Jazziacs!
