Thursday standouts:
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Chasing Shadows-Kandace Springs (This was released in April but could pass for a '70s track, particularly in the flute and keyboard parts underscoring Springs's vocals.)
- Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You-George Benson (If you listened to soft rock radio for more than 20 minutes in Spring 1987, you probably heard Glenn Medeiros's hit version of this. Benson's rendition from 1985, however, deserves equal attention. It's refreshing to finally hear a radio station play it.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- Know That I Know-Lake Street Dive (Talk about going after someone who interests you. The cheeky horn arrangement underscores Rachael Price's vocals appropriately.)
WFUN 96.3 FM
- Footsteps In The Dark-The Isley Brothers (How was this pleasant 1977 slow jam not a top 40 hit?)
K297BI 107.3 FM, a.k.a. WFUN-HD2
- Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel: Departure From Rome (Sarah Rothenberg, piano) (Solemn and meditative. Also, for anyone who was wondering, the composer is Felix Mendelssohn's sister.)
