There's the multi-talented Carole Bayer Sagar with a tuneful little ditty (pretty sure some of those lines sneaked under the BBC radar) and some soul train puff and chuff from The Jackson Sisters doing their thang like they just don't care, and there's Jeanette helping us brush up on our French - never mind Vanessa Paradis, have a listen to this seventies sugarbabe.
Let's have a nice slice of early 1970s now, pop pickers, with a #5 Hit Parade smash for a Scottish outfit fronted by the lovely Sally Carr. Alright?

Hey, it's a double whammy hit for Carole, I think sostie put that one on the jukey a while back, but hey it's so good it deserves another outing.
Good to see Carl Douglas making a showing with his Kung Fu floor-stomper (particularly groovy with the headgear on)
Let's go see how Jilted John coped with life after Julie...(not sure what Reservoir Dogs has to do with it in the opening 20 secs but hey, the lyric's a belter!) Yeah. Oh right, pop pickers, yeah, okay, hehehe)

Let's go deep inside the cave all the way back to 1979 for a number written by Rowland S Howard (1959-2009) as a teenager humorously reflecting on angst. He kind of distanced himself from the song once fellow band member Nick Cave got hold of it and delivered the vocals you hear now. Cave has since said that Howard should have indeed taken the vocals and that the lyrics were better suited to Howard's own vocal interpretation of them...Me, I think Old Nick turns in an admirable performance here...Alright?
THE BOYS NEXT DOOR/THE BIRTHDAY PARTY...Shivers, pop pickers.

Greetings, pop pickers. Patrick Juvet will be 69 on the 21st of this month and is living back in his native Switzerland after failing to find a happy home in other parts of mainland Europe, London and Los Angeles. Depression and alcoholism were setting in. He got better in Switzerland and even this year he has been giving TV interviews and is looking very well indeed, complexion aglow and spirits high. Let's wish him a Happy Birthday, vinyl vamps, and all the best for the future. It's back to 1978 for a number that caused a sensation on the disco floors of Europe when it was released with groovers unable to get enough of the bouncing beat and soaring vocals...Patrick is probably best known for 'I Love America' (preferably the astonishing 13:55 full version) But here's its footstomping predecessor 'Got a Feeling'.
And as a special treat, and because it's his birthday soon, here's Patrick from about 7 or 8 years ago miming - although the last two seconds of the performance seem to suggest his mic was live, I don't know - the shortened version of 'I Love America', looking healthy and wonderful. He has now shortened his famous long hair but he still looks as radiant today as he does in the video below. Happy Birthday, brah.

Oh yeah, turntable terrors, we like a bit of Little Cliffy Richard, and the song above is amongst just a handful of his numbers that get my groove going, and was used to good effect in the movie I, Tonya, as a reference to Tonya Harding's mother and her sometimes outrageously appalling conduct. Hey, we could jive to some great 80s cuts like Wired For Sound, Dreamin' and the wonderful rocker She Means Nothing To Me, his duet with Phil Everly. But we've still got a couple of crackers from our decade. What about We Don't Talk Anymore, Honky Tonk Angel and this underrated little gem in which Cliff goes in search of a missing lady and is met by closed doors everywhere he goes. You get the impression that Cliff rather enjoyed his own little bits of acting here. Look at his expressions, his mannerisms. A thoroughly enjoyable number called Carrie. What a sensational sound this is.
