Trying to adjust to the biweekly cadence by fully exploring the recommendations. To that end, Eddy Grant! Who knew!?

Ruder Than You is also the tops

Looking forward to this one! For one thing, Sly Stone is completely undervalued as a singer so great to see you talk about him that way.

Yes totally agree. Such a unique and powerful voice - especially on the slower stuff.

Thanks again for a thoroughly enjoyable show. Hearing Sly reminds me how underrated he was. I recently finished his memoir He came up with the nickname Sly when a grammar school friend misspelled his name Slyvester instead of Sylvester.

Peggy Lee is incredible. Thanks for featuring 3 of her songs. Since it’s obvious you love Peggy, take a listen to Blossom Dearie, a peer of Peggy’s who hailed from Durham, NY, not far from where you live.

I didn’t catch the name of the Grace Jones song you played.

Thanks,

Jim Hickey
