And The Stiffs Just Keep On Comin'

Although this wasn't a stiff, how 'bout TSOP by MFSB.
But what I wanna know - has ANYONE ever talked up
the intro to TSOP and then oops stepped on the post?

Yeah, I know the intro is like...3?? minutes long..

How 'bout these:

Amazing Rhythm Aces: Third Rate Romance
or
Delaney, Bonnie and Friends -
I've Got A Never Ending Love For You
and dare I stray into the Country realm?
Red Sovine: Teddy Bear

Easy Come Easy Go
Hey Little Woman - both by Bobby Sherman
and for you trivia buffs: He starred in Emergency as
a Paramedic in training with Johnny Gage and Roy DeSoto.
He also played a Doctor with questionable ethics alongside
Dr. Brackett, Dr. Early and Dixie.
 
"4) Chicago-Dialogue
5) McGuiness Flint-When I'm Dead & Gone
6) Nazz-Open My Eyes
14) Seatrain-13 Questions"

Ah, but they did have a radio life, as early AOR hits played as hot-rotation album cuts on stations like WCMF or WNEW-FM. And BS&T's Go Down Gambling not only was an AOR hit, but a lot of the early hot AC stations of the 70s (like WGR, WHEN and WGAR), as well as Canadian Top 40 powerhouses like CHUM and CKLW, played it hard and made it a hit in markets like Detroit and Toronto. (Partly a tribute to the early power of the CRTC's CanCon rules.)
 
Earlier somebody brought up Junior's Farm and flip side Sally G by Paul McCartney.

I've got a bigger McCartney stiff...

Spies Like Us

(at least Junior's Farm made the McCartney cd "All the Best")

I believe I heard "Save it for a Rainy Day" followed up by Dean Freidman's "Ariel" on WRUN in Utica (1977).

L-O-V-E Dean Friedman! "(Ha Ha Said) The Rocking Chair" and "The Deli Song"-two of my favourite songs ever!!
 
I believe I heard "Save it for a Rainy Day" followed up by Dean Freidman's "Ariel" on WRUN in Utica (1977). John Carrucci (Vic's brother) was workin' the rocker had some questionable comment in the segue.

Rain stiffs?

Rainy Day Bells - The Globetrotters
She Done Me Wrong - Mr. Excitement, Jackie Wilson
Tell It To The Rain - Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons
Raining In My Heart - Buddy Holly
 
Silkie! Theme songs! Nice call. Four Foolish Songs. Not necessarily stiffs at all, but totally befitting the day:

What A Fool Believes -Doobie Brothers
A Fool Such As I -Elvis
I Pity The Fool -Bobby Bland
Chain Of Fools -Aretha

Keeping in the foolish vein:

Do you think Queen Elizabeth sang Fools Rush In -
Brook Benton/Ricky Nelson as the POTUS and the FL
came to London?
Or how 'bout Brenda Lee's Fool #1?
Or the ol' standard - These Foolish Things.
Fool If You Think It's Over - Chris Rea

Foolish Little Girl - The Shirelles

Fool On the Hill- The Beatles (I think this song is a "repeat" from a few days ago, but who's keeping score?
Foolin'- Def Leppard
Fooling Yourself- Styx
Foolish Heart- Steve Perry

And winding things up with not another fool, but "The Joker" by Steve Miller.
 
...and what could be a stiff:

Foreigner - "Fool for You Anyway" (1977)

--with a month theme:

Three Dog Night "Pieces of April"

"What were we thinking in 1975?"

Two words: Jessi...Colter. ("I'm Not Lisa.")

Hey, wait! Two MORE words: Minnie...Riperton. (Pause for respect for the departed) ("Lovin You," a/k/a "garage door opener test record.")

Wasn't this also the year we elected Jimmy Carter POTUS?? (And we're all still here, proving that "God watches out for drunks, idiots and the United States Of America.")

Been away for a couple of days... ditching b*tchy significant other, moving, reconnecting broadband... so I'm a little late with this...

Minnie Riperton actually had an earlier stiff before "Lovin You"......anyone remember "Reasons" from late '74- very early '75...a lot more upbeat...and it wouldn't open your garage door...
 
I sympathize, BG - wish all MY "ex'es lived in Texas." But you've already had that prescription filled:

"Just yank Road Runner, Gunner. Disconnect the hub, Bub. Jump in the van, Stan....and be a new man..."
"50 Ways To (fill in your own pejorative here)" with apologies to Paul Simon.

Yeah, I know, I know....Yesterday was April Fools' but I was frustrated by the dreaded radio-info balky page repaint - but there's...

"Oh Me Oh My, I'm A Fool For You Baby" - Lulu
 
"Oh Me Oh My, I'm A Fool For You Baby" - Lulu

Can't believe I didn't think of that one, inasmuch as it is one of my favorite songs.
